The Warsaw Anagrams

I thought the book was going to be a crime solving type novel, but that was really just a secondary plot. Most of the story revolved around the lives of the Jewish community in Warsaw as the ghetto was being established during WWII. While that was a positive track for my interest in the book, I felt somewhat disappointed when the mystery/crime was solved almost as an afterthought near the end. The build-up to the resolution just went too smooth and didn't really “fit” the general mood of the book.
