A story of redemption (or at least the beginning of redemption) which bears Anne Rice's mark of lush environments and interesting characters. There was shades of Violin in the descriptions of music (as well as Cry to Heaven) while the journey into the past with its detailed descriptions reminded me of Servant of the Bones. This new series should give Anne Rice a great showcase for the latter. The reader feels like she really is walking down a street in the past with all senses in play. And the stories (two of them really) are wonderful as well.
And now I have started another Phryne Fisher Mystery. This promises to be as busy and charming as the rest as Phryne and Dot have traveled to Sidney, met some fun new characters, and have to figure out who robbed the safe at the college as well as to find Dot's sister who seems to have been missing for a week.
