This arrived safe and sound and accompanied by some lovely bookmarks; I actually picked it up on Thursday (it's Monday now) but I was super busy over the weekend as a friend was getting married and I was helping her, so I'm only getting online to journal it now. It looks like a fun read -- I am really looking forward to it and will update when I do.

This was a really fun, unusual book. I really enjoyed the mystery, puzzle aspect, and unexpected twist. The love story was also sweet, human, and thoroughly enjoyable. I learned a lot of things I didn't know about Sydney, too, though occasionally I did feel that the author was a little too long-winded in his footnotes (leave 'em wanting more!). Great fun. I wonder if this author has written anything else?
Thank you so much, Vita13, for sending it so far!

Just a week or so ago I found a bag of books that I thought I'd already released--and this was in it, so I took this with some others and left it on the remarkably active (or so it seems to me) bookswop shelf here. It's tucked just outside between the hotel and restaurant, in Thamel.
