3.0 out of 5 stars
fun romp,
By
This review is from: Puppet Master (Mass Market Paperback)
I enjoyed this book. The characters are engaging, the ideas are clever, and the mysteries are well crafted. There is nothing to dislike about this book! On the other hand, there's nothing to set the book apart from hundreds of others I've read. It's not a "must read" book. My advice: buy it and keep it around for the next time you need some light, escapist reading. You'll enjoy it, but you won't fall in love with it.

A Most Singular Book,
By
This review is from: Puppet Master (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is two short stories, or novellas with a novel between them. I've had the pleasure of hearing Dalmas read "A Most Singular Murder," but even if I'd just read it in the book, I'd still rate it highly. All three stories are tightly written, but without the complications for the sake of complication of some writers. The mysteries are very intricate and involved, and require the space they're given. I don't accept Dalmas' premises as a world-view, but find them very satisfactory as basis for a story, and, once one even conditionally accepts the premises, the story runs logically from there. Dalmas introduces us to some fascinating people and the story never drags. More proof that Dalmas continues to grow as a writer.
