Another classic Lanyon style, although this one take a bit to get into as well as getting my bearing straight.

Since I became aware of this book only through the Goodread page, I was confuse within the first few pages of reading, as something felt off about it. Then it was clear that this was not set in present day but in the past. It took me a bit to adjust how I conjured the mental image of this book in my head.

The pacing wasn't exactly slow but it wasn't bombastic either. The early portion of ...more

Ok but no better than ok, perhaps my expectations for a Lanyon-Mystery were too high. Wondered while reading if this was intended as an 'in the style of' book, which was answered in the authors note at the end. It most certainly was.

But this was a dramatic departure from how I usually feel when I read her books. There are moments that are good -- but for the most part, I could not follow along and could not figure out who all the many (and I mean MANY) ...more

At the risk of being lynched by my Lanyon loving friends, this one, well, didn't do it for me :( The voices of the two main character sounded the same, meaning I had trouble following who was telling the story as it switched pov. The mystery this time round, well didn't grab me by the arm and shake me as it has in previous Lanyon stories. If I am honest I struggled to get through, I should have been able to read this in one afternoon, took me several.

There are always going to be stories from an ...more
