Query: Ugh! Like slogging through mud

I read this over a year ago, and I STILL think about how bad it was. It looked like the kind of story I really like, historical novel; murder mystery. Ms. Shields made it incredibly difficult to even understand what was going on. I never seemed to know where the characters were, and how their actions related to the last thing they were doing. To add insult to injury, Ms. Shields adds a confusing layer of Gypsy mythology to everything the protagonist does, liberally sprinkled with Hungarian words I immediately forgot. When the story finally resolved itself, I couldn't care less.
