This is a terrific read and I look forward to reading the other books in the series. The reader really gets the feel of the time and place of the story. I enjoy reading historical fiction that then leads me to read nonfiction about the real people featured in the book. Oscar Wilde is a fascinating figure in history and literature and adding "detective" to his resume is an interesting twist. He'll never compete with Sherlock Holmes, but these Oscar Wilde mysteries could make for an interesting movie or TV series.
