I always want to like Yarbro, but cannot seem to connect with her books - and it is not because they are necessarily bad, they're just not to my taste. Our central character uses both his legal skills and his knowledge of shamanism to try to unravel the mysterious death of an opera star.
Surprisingly good murder mystery.
Noted during my 1980's attempt to read every book in my small town library.
