This isn’t exactly the book I hoped it would be, but it was fascinating nonetheless. In the author’s (after)words: “Ratting, for me…is not just about rats; it is also about seeing another side of a given city.” And that’s exactly what he sets out to show his reader.
It’s Big and it’s Bland, Full of Tension and Fear (fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fashion)
I picked this one up on sale, despite figuring I wouldn’t really be its target audience (I don’t know a Lanvin from a Latverian; fashion is something I stare at when I can’t sleep (or, well, it used to be when “Fashion Trance” was a thing). Delightfully, I was wrong.
Fair is Foul, and Foul is Fair
I cannot tell a lie, dear reader: This is, technically, another cozy mystery. But it’s an awful lot more fun than the Scottish Play.
Not Necessarily Neo-Noir
So-oo. This one doesn’t count as a “cozy” mystery, I don’t think. I have mixed feelings about it, though.
A Classic Game, if not a Classic Mystery
As an avid reader of both cozy mysteries and Agatha Christie, I am ashamed to admit that I only discovered Ngaio Marsh because of Benedict Cumberbatch. Three of her novels have been made into audiobooks read by BC, and because I had listened to, and enjoyed, them I went ahead and picked up A Man Lay Dead, the first of the Roderick Alleyn mysteries.
Black and White (and Red) all over
So…This book wasn’t what I expected, not really. And that’s not a bad thing at all.
