Anyway, you'll want to read this book in the fall or winter. Early spring at the absolute latest. It's not a light summer read, by any means. There's a crime (or several), a cover-up (or two), and a sense that perhaps the author (and her characters) ought to have lived in a different century. I'll tell you what you'll learn on the first page: They killed Bunny! Now don't you want to know why? If you can get past pages 36-42 (a nerdy excerpt from the students' Greek lessons which nearly caused me to stop reading), I think you might find yourself wrapped up in a quilt on the couch and reading till your eyes hurt.]]>
