Query: Fairstein was in over her head on this one

I've read all the Fairstein novels with Alex Cooper, so obviously I like them. But this one shows me Fairstein tried to do more complex plotting and failed. The story was convoluted, with too many characters all dealing with ancient (and rather boring) history.Unliike some of the other reviewers who couldn't finish the book, I did make myself finish, but I knew the ending was going to be dumb and anticlimactic. And I wasn't wrong.Not Fairstein's best work.P.S. Ms. Fairstein, Alex is interesting, but she's also very pretentious (i.e. "the house in the country," etc.). And her relationship with Jake is almost romance-novel-like in the way it's described. (I.e., the "I-want-my-lover-to-take-me-in-his-arms-and-make-me-feel-loved-and-adored" crap.) Maybe tone down the pretentiousness and perhaps try to describe Alex's relationship in a less sappy way?
