Review title: Stagey and rhetorical
Product review: It may be that this novel fits into a mystery/fantasy genre which I'm not aware of or into, but I found this a very self-conscious read, and too removed from believable lives to be compelling. I didn't believe the murder, still less the 'games' played among the major characters. There are some good descriptive bits, but the whole tale is undermined by the annoying overdone style.
