sietz's review against another edition
4.0
Beautiful writing, funny, sharp. A real master at creating atmosphere.
However for those of you who like plot-centred novels, this is probably not for you (i.e. not much happens)

Three stars for what felt like a promising, good tale (I was kept wondering what would happen) and for interesting characters, BUT, there were at times too much waxing on architectural details (or organ music) and some sentences were so unnecessarily lengthy (I'm guilty of that, too) and unclear that I had to re-read them.
Moonfleet was SO much better.
Favorite lines:
"The cloud had returned to Westray's face. If he had been the hero of a novel his brow would have been black as night; as it was he only looked rather sulky."

Slow and engaging and very enjoyable. It never explicitly states whether or not a murder has actually taken place, and truthfully I wished the 'murderer' would get away with it.
