I enjoyed it because it exonerates Richard III, but I didn't LOVE it because so much of it was just a lot of rapid-fire conversation about people I didn't know that well. Maybe one of her more traditional mysteries would sit well with me- this sounds great!Aartihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02354873119188597611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-86508596598822098662012-05-30T03:20:17.915-05:002012-05-30T03:20:17.915-05:00Well, I really enjoyed reading your 'non-revie...Well, I really enjoyed reading your 'non-review review', especially as I just finished reading it myself. It's not my favourite Tey but it is very well worked out in terms of theme and plot and has some very strong characterisation. I think just maybe I didn't love the Brat character quite as much as Tey did and was less inclined to give him quite the wide benefit of the doubt that she does, but that's not-picking really.Sergio (Tipping My Fedora)http://bloodymurder.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-16445078260053297592012-05-29T19:28:46.662-05:002012-05-29T19:28:46.662-05:00I'm glad you went with option #3.

I loved reading about how much you enjoyed this one and it makes me rethink those older books and actually giving them a try one of these days!Stacihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07600979915661464945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-41732782138165858412012-05-29T16:53:41.836-05:002012-05-29T16:53:41.836-05:00I loved this book.

In fact, it's on my list of 101 Favorite Mysteries. <br /><br />This book of Tey's is like sinking into the past in thrall of a great story and some terrific characters, slowly becoming aware that you are in the presence of great evil. <br /><br />I also loved the PBS series based on the book done many MANY years ago. If you can find it, Ryan, I KNOW you will love it too.<br /><br />It IS a dilemma to write about this book. I like the route you took.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-87470201432144930792012-05-29T14:25:55.099-05:002012-05-29T14:25:55.099-05:00Okay, your review definitely caught my attention. ...Okay, your review definitely caught my attention.

I'm going to go check now if my library has this book in stock.Simchahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14730042073954228379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-63006760252153801802012-05-29T07:45:05.559-05:002012-05-29T07:45:05.559-05:00I read the synopsis and it sounds like an exciting...I read the synopsis and it sounds like an exciting plot.
