As for the more modern goings-on, they were certainly amusing enough to hold my interest. And since there was more than one mystery, while I solved one of them well before the reveal, the other one snuck up on me.
Elizabeth Peters is one of my favorite writers, and so far none of her books have disappointed me. This one excited me more than usual, however, because of my keen interest in Richard III, and I had hoped it would prove to be her best work (or at least my personal favorite). My hopes were too high, unfortunately, but the book is utterly readable and enjoyable.(less)
