Query: Is this the most annoying book I've ever read?

I know this isn't the worst book I've ever read but it may be the most annoying. I can't imagine why Ackroyd wrote this book.I don't care to find an answer to the mystery at the heart of the book because I don't care about any of the characters in the book.The book is a silly waste of the reader's time and the author's effort.Ackroyd should have written an historical essay on London in the Middle Ages and not foist his copious knowledge onto such a silly and witless plot.I give it two stars only because of the local colour and fabulous vocabulary of old English words and terms.
