Wolf on a String Benjamin
Black
Novel about the court of Rudolf II in 1599 Prague, where a
young visiting scholar improbably gets tasked with solving the murder of
Rudolf’s mistress. Much court intrigue, and far too many prose flourishes,
Banville seems completely infatuated with his own style, found myself skipping
over-long descriptions of unnecessary things. Fairly interesting, follows the
same structure and method of his Quirk, mysteries. Not a waste of time, but not
great.
