Jeremy is a chef in Vancouver and owns his own small restaurant,
with the focus being on local food; however, he has run up a lot of
bills to make a go of this place, and it's catching up to him. His
dad is an anthropology professor, conducting a study of homeless
people in Stanley Park. The Professor is also interested in a
murder of two children, a cold case from the late 40s/early 50s.
Some parts were more interesting than others. It was the unsolved
murder that drew me to the book to begin with, but there was so
little about it in the book, and past the initial description of it
(apparently, this really is a cold case in Vancouver), what was
there just didn't hold my interest very much. The food aspect of
the book didn't do anything for me (in fact, I wouldn't have eaten
a single thing mentioned in the book, but then, I'm not at all
adventurous with food), although the restaurant part got more
interesting as the story went on. The Professor and his homeless
friends were pretty boring, I thought. Overall, despite my mostly
negative comments, I'd consider the book "o.k.", but nothing more.
