Arrived in the mail today -- what a great surprise! Hakkalina, you're amazing. After I finish the "difficult" book I'm currently reading, I'm going to relax and savor this one along with that tea.
A silly froth of a book, with a mystery plot plenty complicated enough to keep the large cast of characters popping in and out of doors like in a classic farce -- a whole hotel-ful of doors. I zipped through reading it in a day. Warning: you may not enjoy this book if you are very disturbed by its blatant, vicious racism.
