I honestly don't see myself finishing this one. Carol is award- winning? News to me, the writing is grating. Plus, Nellie Bly deserves to be killed by Jack the Ripper; she's unreliable as a narrator (but with winking foot-notes to alert us to this unreliability - gah!), she's a poor grammarian (and a journalist!?!), she's a weak crime-fighter and generally an annoyance on the page.
