Clever and funny. The humor is very dry, similar in style to Terry Pratchett. The only reason it didn't get five stars is the ending is a little too cliff hangerish. ( )

Not as laugh out loud funny as The Domesday Book, No Not That One -- until the denouement, which abruptly brings all into hilarious and farcical context... and sets up a ridiculous new conspiracy theory about a very famous event in English history. Brilliant. ( )

This may not be my favorite time period for mystery fiction, but it is a humour that had me rolling in the aisles. Wry humour? Sly humour? The interaction between characters, and their observations on people, places, and occurrences are sometimes sneaky, and sometimes blatantly hilarious. The plot basic is represented by the publisher's blurb, so no need to rehash. Sit back and enjoy, but no drinking or eating while doing so unless prepared to spew when caught unawares by a sneaky bit. ( )
