Might be a slow burner?
This first impression didn't really grab me from the outset. It was well written, but I didn't feel compelled to read on. However, from the blurb, I think it might well be an interesting read - so maybe you just have to give this one time?
The cover suits the subject matter, but I'm not sure it would actually grab my attention in a shop or library.
