I've had this on my tbr list forever. Finally sat down with it. It was a bit confusing- I really had trouble keeping all the characters straight. And when the main bad guy was revealed- I knew enough to be surprised but still wasn't exactly sure who he was at the same time.
I guess it's been a long time since I read a mystery.
This is definitely a mystery write for men, which is kind of a nice change from some of the others where the tea setting is the main character. Anyway, many great scenes and dialog, great Walsh writing on several fronts. I'm going back to his historical fiction.
Good read, bit confusing with the many characters and their many not-completely-spelled-out back stories, and the hard manly writing of men just clobbering each other when they got mad. Like I said, kind of refreshing.

My word!I

I don’t really need twenty words to describe my feelings about this book. Very good but sometimes the conversations were hard to follow. I wish you had more of his works.
