Once I got through the first couple a chapters thinking "what the hell is this", I actually began to enjoy it immensely! The quirkiness is BACK!
Although this has some interest and I imagine it was an interesting for Ms. MacLeod to write, all I can really say about it is, "Weird!"
Whoa...this was a difficult read for me. The accents and spellings were so hard to follow. I got quickly that it was like an Alice lost in Wonderland but not as intriguing. But I did finish it.
Some other day, a whimsical magic adventure in an otherwise mundane mystery series might appeal to me. At the moment, it reads like a dream sequence, and I want to kill it with fire.

I love the sense of humor she infuses into her mysteries. I should reread them, since the Professor Peter Shandy ones take place in a college, and I work in one.
Professor Shandy is back in another Charlotte MacLeod mystery but this one veers off into bizarre territory. I gave up on it halfway through.
Very fun. Much different from the other Peter Shandy Mysteries. This one takes on a mystic adventure in another place and time.

I thoroughly enjoyed this dated little flight of fantasy and the author's take on medieval Welsh is a treat!
It was interesting fantasy departure but not my favorite of the Peter Shandy books.
