I've whirled my way through the Lady Darby mysteries with both alacrity and delight, and this one did not fail to entertain. While much of my enjoyment, to be sure, came from the plethora of Irish accents and references to some of my favorite places--I studied abroad at Trinity College Dublin, for example, and Howth is one of my favorite places in the world--much of it also stemmed from Huber's delightful twists and turns of narrative, and I look forward to reading the next book (whenever it comes out. Next year, I imagine? Gracious, what a wait).
