First, many thanks to Minotaur Books and NetGalley for this ARC of this e-book!
A light mystery with a colorful cast of characters. It read kind of like the Clue game of the '70's --A mysterious death is investigated. The scene is in "The Parlor". Was it the odd, outspoken Mr. Kemple? The boisterous drama queen Miss Sassafrass? Mousey Ms. Chauncey? Mr. O'Nelligan and Detective Plunkett set out to find out. Good thing Lee Plunkett is surrounded by all these personalities, because as the central character, he is about as exciting as a flat soda. I liked the book; the references to Yeats & Shakespeare. I even liked all the goofballs thrown in who may or may not have been involved in a crime. My 2 cents: If Lee has more mysteries to solve, he needs more personality.
Rating: A solid 3 stars.
