The Mayor of Maxwell Street

I'm a bit torn on this one. I think the author's prose is lovely, and she did a good job of bringing us into 1920s Chicago. However, the plot got a little convoluted at times and the ending fell flat. I feel like not enough was done to convince us that the Mayor of Maxwell story was worth pursuing, and the mystery wasn't built up or fleshed out as well as it could have been. I think there are some great details and insights in this book, but they unfortunately are not enough on their own, and as a whole the book is not as effective as I was hoping it would be.
