I am a fan of the Carlotta Carlisle series so was eager to read this Barnes novel. Very evocative setting and an interesting narrator, and good pacing. I did find the "Shakesperean" elements to be more a distraction than an enhancement to the story, and toward the end the plot got quite convoluted, though I began to correctly suspect "whodunnit". Too bad this is a stand-alone-I think there was potential to develop a series along the lines of "Murder She Wrote" given the narrator's occupation.
