This was a murder mystery set in Vienna, Austria in 1898. I was interesting because the author is an expert on Vienna and its history - so the fictional mystery included lots of real characters and real events along with the imagined meetings and conversations. The crime solvers Werthen and Gross are portrayed as a Viennese Sherlock and Watson and their interactions were fun. But the murders and eventual motives were kind of convoluted and not totally believable.
