Long, slow, heavy ..

L.Padura wrote a masterpiece ("The Man Who Loved Dogs"), estimable thrillers (investigations of former Inspector Conde), novels interesting but often talkative ("The palm tree and star ") This novel, which received a very positive review, is deadly dull. long, far too long, heavy, talkative, written over the pen mechanically translated (but I understand the lack of obvious interest translator) .The "book" devoted to Amsterdam at the time of Rembrandt, of which I was a party to me, is endless, the latest "book", devoted to solving the riddle is particularly difficult to follow (but I ' confess that I was eager to finish).
