The choppy writing that didn't seem to relate to the characters or plot prevented me from continuing with this book.

This is a special book that has a loyal following. It would be appropriate for young adults and adults. After you read it you will never forget it.

The Kate Fansler mysteries are very unusual--cerebral and academic and also funny. This is a good example. They are well worth reading if you are a mystery fan looking for a different experience.

Excellent. Among the best novels I have read.

This is a little gem of a mystery that really has one foot in the literary novel genre. It is more intricate and dense than the typical whodunit as it tells a fascinating story about families, women, wealth, secrecy, a novelist, fame, and a literary-minded sleuth. If those things are your cup of tea, you will find it worth five stars, as I did.

After reading the first two books of this series, Jar City and Silence of the Grave, I am determined to read as many as I can obtain. Great mysteries.
