Argh! What a Let Down the End Was

I don't think I've felt more let down by the ending of a book than I was by Nelson Demille's Night Fall. I finished it last night and have felt down in the dumps since. The last line:


It wasn’t until Friday that I returned to the Plaza Hotel to pick up our things in the suite, and to have the safe opened to claim Mrs. Winslow’s package. The assistant manager was accommodating, but informed me that there was nothing of Mrs. Winslow’s in the safe.

DeMille, Nelson - Night Fall

Such a let down compared to the first line that seemed to make the novel so intriguing. I'll have more in the upcoming review.

I would be let down too -- and I have no clue what the plot was all about. I hate it too when a movie ends in a way where I am disappointed.

I remember years ago -- I went to see a movie that my local new anchor just raved about. Everyone was! Me -- I thought it was the worst movie I had ever seen.
