Helpful Score: 5

A few weeks ago, I heard Stefanie Pintoff speak at a store signing with Louise Penny (whom I'd actually gone to see). I enjoyed her talk so much that I bought this, her first book, and I certainly can't say I'm sorry. While it's not gripping, In the Shadow of Gotham is a good read throughout, particularly for its characters. While I saw the ending coming from a ways down the road, that only happened after a huge plot twist, and it didn't hinder my enjoyment of the story. I will say that the sequel, A Curtain Falls, is an even better book, but this story is well worth your time.
