This is the last Crispin book I intend to read. He comes off as too arch by half for my enjoyment. A writer who wants to show off how clever he is, but the story is not all that clever. The method of murder was obvious and therefore the murderer obvious as well, in spite of the distractions the author tried to provide. I gagged my way to the end, but no more.
Good mystery but not as funny and witty as the previous books.
This was a thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining read. I am glad to have read it. Gervase Fen is a gem - Crispin writes Fen perfectly, with every necessary idiosyncrasy, but never too much over-description.
The pseudo-Gothic history of Tolnbridge combined with the overlay of the Nazis in WW2 make this a really ripe setting for all sorts of goings on. Crispin capitalizes on all these things and writes a story with hilarity, good props, red herrings, and seemingly familiar characters.
So many "Easter eggs" and homages and little hints about other books make this a nested joy. For example, the second half of chapter eight, in which a visit is made to Garbin's house is absolutely awesome writing. The stoic straight-facedness of Garbin combined with the utter ridiculousness of the props in the setting make this chapter awesome. Highly recommended that readers with wit read this novel - if only for this amusing chapter.
