Query: Some good points, but ultimately disappointing

First the good points. The language was beatiful; the story moved briskly, with old fashioned cliffhanging chapters; Fandorin is an engaging character. Unfortunately, the basic plot is frankly silly, and for me spoiled the enjoyment of the book's good elements. The ending seemed especially gratuitous.I decided on this basis not to read the rest of the series, though I note one reviewer tells those put off to stick with the series--perhaps the plots get stronger. Certainly the era offered plenty of basis for more realistic plots.
