The beginning of this book really dragged. So much so that I thought about just discontinuing reading this series. Yet about two-thirds through it grabbed my attention and I quickly finished it.

It is interesting how the author intermixes Falco's cases and personal life. But I am getting tired of seeing Falco getting beaten to a pulp at least one in every novel.

However, I thought the best part of the book was when the Emperor's son showed up at Falco's dingy apartment for a fish dinner.
