A review by saragale
A Play of Isaac by Margaret Frazer

3.0

Very well written with lots of great description. I read the Dame Frevisse books awhile back, but couldn't get my hands on these at the time. I like Joliffe and his more-than-meets-the-eye character. I look forward to learning more about him.
One thing I really liked about the book is that it doesn't dwell on the grisly, lurid parts of the murders or paint everyone in black and white roles. It focuses on the characters, the motivations, and what is at stake for each person in light of the events.
