The Feast of Stephen

2nd in series. Also a good, fast read: I wasn't expecting much, since it is the 2nd in a series (and my experience is that the second is often not worthy of much), but the author does a nice job of clueing the reader into the back-story of the protagonist without re-writing the first book.

The puzzle was good.....but the killer was a bit obvious.

Couldn't make it through this time even for the discussion. I don't think the main protagonist and I get along. The book is too long or takes too long to get the plot going.

This book was introduced to me by one of the best bookstores in the world - The Sleuth on Baker Street, located in Toronto. It is based in Toronto and is the story of Ellis Portal, a once powerful lawyer who is now a homeless statistic.
