Ron K. (WhidbeyIslander) - , reviewed on 7/22/2022 + 732 more book reviews

Alleyn is a quite ingratiating detective and once he arrives on the scene the story gains in interest. There are quite a number of characters, but all are well fleshed out and it's not confusing keeping them straight in your mind as you read. Although crucial to the solution I got a little bored with the details of the (fictitious) Dance of the Five Sons, and thought a diagram of the area it took place in would have been helpful (Alleyn draws one himself to illustrate his thoughts to his police colleague.)
