THIS BOOK WAS A MESS
however the three stars that I do give are only and solely for the plot.
Oscar Wilde and the Vatican’ Murders’ ending was IMMACULATE.

One of my favorites in this series. I thought the murder was intriguing and interesting. I enjoyed the choice of Arthur Conan Doyle instead of Robert Sherard; Conan Doyle has more expertise and is less naive of a narrator than Sherard.

Oscar Wilde's presence is charming and believable. I prefer the books in the series where Conan-Doyle is on the periphery, but it was still a well laid out-evenly paced mystery with a sprinkling of humor

book itself took awhile to get going and felt the ending was abit rushed and feel the series has been declining in quality but maybe the next book in the series will be better though
