A mixture of American and British characters fill this living room style mystery in which a joker's increasingly dangerous pranks parallel the more interesting historical events of the era of Richard III and the two princes in the tower. Though Carmen Lynne Williamson's awkward rendering of the American accents detracts from the listener's ability to identify with the intelligent, independent character Jacqueline Kirby, one still enjoys Peters's (The Last Camel Died at Noon, Audio Reviews, LJ 5/15/92) easy humor. History buffs will enjoy the author's grasp of the details and suppositions of this medieval period.?Danielle D'Ottavio Harned, San Francisco

Like a Haydn quartet, this book is a fresh and clever exploration of a classic form: an English house-party mystery. Williamson has a light, clear, classically British voice ideally suited to the narrative of the text. Her character voices are satisfactory. Few readers could speak as slowly as she does without sounding dull or overly deliberate. She seems to be inviting the listener to savor the story. This is appropriate for a well-written book, which is largely an exercise in style. She sounds . . . stylish. Listeners who like the style will find this a treat. J.N. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
