Definitely agree that America wasn't as good as the first two. Really enjoyed both 'Ireland' and 'Scotland'. Not so much this one. I do like that Coyne is a local (Philly) guy.
NYT best seller b/c it's Towles; not b/c it's a stocking stuffer. I thought Lincoln Highway was good actually. Not of Gent in Moscow quality but equal to Rules of Civility and maybe a little better. On the 'light reads and a well-written fiction series' list are The Thursday Murder Club books.
