Product Description

R.A. MacAvoy is a truly gifted author who has no need to rely on the conventions of the science fictioni genre in order to hold the reader's attention. Her highly original debut novel, Tea With the Black Dragon, combined elements of mystery and fantasy along with a fascination with computer technology, and was highly praised by critics, while her Lens of the World trilogy appeared on many "best of the year" lists in the national news media. In this sequel to Tea With the Black Dragon, Mayland Long is once again thrust into a maelstrom of mysterious happenings. The peaceful relationship he has established with Martha Macnamara is being threatened. A wild psychic force is loose in the world, while Martha's granddaughter has been kidnapped and one of her Celtic musician friends has been found dead, hanging by a rope of twisted grass. Now the Black Dragon must use his wits to hunt for the killer...even if it brings him to a horrifying realization.

3.0étoiles sur 5 I Liked It, but Preferred the Precursor Book, Jui 18 2003

Tea with a Black Dragon. Much better in my opinion. I read both of these books about 20 years ago, and was not disappointed with my re-read of the Dragon. However I remembered too late I was disappointed in the sequel. For me, personally, it was too much about the music mileau.

One thing I regret is that Ruth doesn't explain the reality behind the mysterious happenings either logically or mystically. I'd like to know why and how, not just who and when in the 'mystic' of it all.

4.0étoiles sur 5 What's a Dragon to Do?, Avril 11 2002
Par Sires (It's a Toss Up Right Now) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Mayland Long and Martha Macnamara are as unlikely a couple as you could hope to meet. Martha is a fiftyish musician, Mayland is-- well, Mayland is unusual, as people who have read the first book in this set, Tea With the Black Dragon, know. When the book opens Mayland, Martha, Martha's young granddaughter Marty, and an ill assorted group of egotistical musicians have been on tour for eight weeks, playing traditional (and not so traditional) Irish folk songs. At this point tempers are frayed while insults (and the occasional fist) are flying.

Then Marty disappears, a member of the band is found hanged by a twisted grass rope off a Pacific pier, and it up to Martha and Mayland to solve the mystery of where Marty is and who the murderer is.

Written in the mid 80's this book is a great favorite of mine, an urban fantasy mystery that mixes Celtic and Eastern lore with some solid detection. The scenes with the band seem very true to life and the fantasy elements are delightfully underplayed. The chapter titles, by the way, as well as the title Twisting the Rope are all titles of trad. Irish tunes.
