The Constant Gardner

I found myself getting ahead of the story, so it didn't quite work as a mystery, but as a story of discovery (Justin finally understanding Tessa), it does work on that level. The price of discovery is what probably elevates the story to something above the ordinary, and it's only upon reflection that its story of discovery find its emotional heart in a sea of corruption.

But I did have a problem buying Weisz as a 24 year old (I'd peg her age around 30-35).

I give it 3 stars or a grade of B.
