Fun and often funny mystery story that doesn't take itself seriously. I can see why this was such a hit. Stevenson takes the p out of the whole cozy murder genre, yet still manages to weave a novel that reminds me of the movie Clue with Tim Curry, particularly near the end where Tim Curry's character whirls you through all the possible solutions like a crazy dervish. 

Will definitely be reading his other work. Especially when I need something silly.
