Review title: a fancy table, but no meal
Product review: Coming from the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series, and loving each one of those, I find this book much more in the point-and-smirk vein than the open-hearted generosity of the former series. I thought for one chapter that von Iglefeld could grow on me, but it never happened. Some of the characters get interesting, but you don't get enough time with them. The overall story is more of a hair than a thread, but that wouldn't be a problem if there were some heart in this book. The one thing that saved the book from being just awful was the deliciously textured descriptions of the varied locales. Sadly, the thing I enjoyed most was finding the non-word "defintitely" on the back cover.
