Perfectly fine. When this book had something going on it was fast paced, exciting, hard to put down. But, the problem with a murder mystery told in the perspective of the person solving it, is that you can only pick up clues and work things out as they do. This had a negative impact on the pacing as a whole, as lots of the story seemed like it wasn't adding to the overall picture. The characters were great though, and I liked the way it discusses the concept of the Church as am institution and the end of centuries old tradition and irradication of artefacts with the dissolution of the monasteries.
