Well, I just finished reading Still Life with Murder - and very enjoyable it was. The characters are terrific, and the attention to historical detail is superb.
I have to say that it wasn't exactly a page-turner. Anyone looking for a fast-paced read must look elsewhere. The long conversations - especially in the central chapters - were a little too drawn-out for my liking. Medium-paced would be a better description.
But that didn't detract from the overall enjoyment. Now that I've got to know Nell Sweeney, I will be sure to read some more of the series, especially as the aforementioned box set looks to be such a good deal.
