This was my first introduction to Aloysius Pendergast, and I am looking forward to spending more time with him. I discovered, quite by accident, that two characters I know and like from another series (Nora Kelly) are part of his world.

This book was well paced; sometimes slow and informative, sometimes gripping action. There was only one person that I guessed had to be part of the nefarious plot. The others were all a real surprise which is nice to have happen in a mystery.
