I love to play bridge, almost as much as reading so when I saw this book that centered around a small town's duplicate bridge group, I thought it would be great!  Unfortunately, though the bridge portions were great and very informative, the mystery was very lack luster and barely even there.  A non-bridge player would have ditched the book, but since I love bridge, I persevered.  Hopefully, the next one will be better.
