Laura Rye's Reviews > The Tragedy of Y

Highly recommend! It a long book---300+ pages, and at times the detail is overwhelming...After reading the first book in the series I had a specific idea in my mind of how the "hero" Drury Lane should/would act...almost from the beginning of this book I wasn't liking him very much at all...he was being of no help to the detectives...he was aging and acting old.....he was gloomy and defeated, nothing like he had been presented in the first book of the series (Tragedy of X). When the book ended he had quit and there didn't seem to be any resolution to the mystery--only an end to the murders. Even the Epilogue didn't explain anything. Only the final chapter---called "Behind the Scenes"--finally brought the story full circle and explained Drury Lane's actions, reasons, and ultimately the answers to "whodunnit?" ...and the very last page leaves you shocked and saddened by Mr. Drury Lane himself......can't wait to start the next one!!!!!!!!!
