rating:
well, to risk repeating the praise that has already been bestowed upon this book, I too found its reading quite enjoyable. I thought that Goodman weaved a few aluring threads into this tangled tale, and while many of them were rather easy to unweave (I found it simple to discern the killer, for instance, long before it was revealed to the characters), I think the authors captivating and picturesque style kept me absorbed in the well-tensioned plot. The transitions and similarities of the tragedies between not only the current-day characters and their pasts, but also between their stories and those of the Latin/Greek literature, were perfect in their timing and execution. I will certainly look for others by this author.
