2.0 out of 5 stars SOLID BUT PEDESTRIAN, 10 Nov 2000
By A Customer
This second case for physician, astrologer and Sleuth Simon Foreman is something of a disappointment. The author has a firm grip on the historical detail and her style of writing is good as well, but it needs a little more than that to craft a good historical mystery. Foreman himself is a reasonably well drawn character, but the supporting cast are one-dimensional and ever so slightly dull. The plot doesn't help much either...it starts off briskly with a suspicious death during a performance at the Rose theatre but slows down to an almost plodding pace by the time the book is halfway through. There is invention, but events unfold so slowly it's hard to feel any real involvement and by the time all is revealed it's tempting to be glad that it's all over. The overall premise, with its use of the enigmatic Foreman is a good one, but the whole thing needs an injection of freshness and enthusiasm. "Death of a Lady's Maid" was somewhat more satisfying so hopefully the third installment will mark a return to form.
