5.0

So very good. This historical mystery series is marvellous and this is the second book. I absolutely loved it. Ira Adler is an incredibly engaging character and narrator. The story itself is interesting and fast-paced and so vivid, but, in some ways, it's Ira himself that makes this series so delightful. His wry commentary on his adventures is poignant and amusing and lively. He's a fascinating character and so endearing. The writing is snappy and bright and full of life. I love all the secondary characters as well. The historical detail is rich and full and never overdone, and the atmosphere is wonderful. This is a fun, vivid, exciting story, and I enjoyed every minute.
