Atmosphere & Intrigue

Another great story from Frank Tallis. I love the detailed description of fin de siècle Vienna. The plot is ingenious and the characters like old friends. I found the narrator better on this book than the last one. Keep 'em coming, Frank.

If this book were a film would you go see it?
