Goodman's character's deeply woven pasts always tell a haunting tale full of imagery. The past and present is sensory and immediate. The mystery is in not only with the present characters, but also in the story of people dead for two thousand years, who also had their own mythology believed to be true. By far the best of the three I have read: Lake of Dead Languages (second favorite) and The Seduction of Water.

I loved this book. It was colorful, I could smell the smells, see the sparkle on the bay of Naples, taste the dust in the tunnels of the Night Villa. The ending was twisty and very satisfying. I'll be reading more Carol Goodman!

I really had a hard time getting through this one. I would not recommend it unless you are into scholarly looks into Greek literature. It was really dull.
