Query: Not the book I thought I had purchased

The description on the dust jacket made the book sound intriguing and mysterious. But once I started reading, it was your run-of-the-mill romance. The "mystery" was more depressing than shocking, and that made the last half of the book was slow and predictable. What disappoints me is that I paid for a hardcover book, and it took me only an hour to read it.The afterword in the book described the basis for all the characters. In my opinion, the book was too autobiograpical. It is a work of fiction, and the story became bogged down with the references to reality.
