About book Oscar Wilde Et Le Jeu De La Mort (2008)

Good sequel to the candlelight murders. I particularly enjoyed that there are more "celebrities" turning up in this one, for example Bram Stoker and Walter Sickert, who at one point was a suspect for being Jack the Ripper (Particia Cornwell maintains that theory still today). Again the book is full of quotes and bonmots either by Oscar Wilde or by the author who did a great job "faking" them. A very enjoyable read. This murder mystery is nicely written and the characters were actually fairly easy to keep track of which is not something which is easy for me in many English mysteries. However, there seems to be something about the character of Oscar Wilde which did not feel authentic in the story. I still enjoyed the story very much overall, but would be surprised if anyone who truly loved Oscar Wilde would enjoy these mysteries. I have a lay understanding of his life, so I found it very enjoyable.

Fascinating history, very smooth reading and engaging while you're reading.

A great idea - but the execution is a little disappointing.
—Liv

This was an agreeable but slightly far-fetched yarn.
