Those familiar with Brookmyer's books can expect the usual dark, witty, satirical themes. Solid characters, dark comical humour, savage satire. Good plot which reaches a worthy conclusion. My only gripe is that it tends to wander off point, a lot of back story padding. Don't let that put you off if you are a fan of the author though as there is plenty to sink your teeth into.
This is the first book in a trilogy featuring Angelique de Xavia (and my favourite of the three). The other two books are The Sacred Art of Stealing, and A Snowball in Hell respectively.
