3 1/2 stars. This entry into MacLeod's Peter Shandy Mystery series is different from all of her others. It took a bit to get into it because of the old fashioned language she uses in this. Once I got used to it, the story was quite funny, and I am glad I read it.

Definitely the weirdest entry in this series (or maybe any mystery series). The "mystery" is a frame for Macleod to write a fantasy romp extended dream sequence, like just kind of plopping some of her characters down in the middle of a Welsh/Norwegian Monty Python sketch. It takes a mental adjustment, but once you get there it's quite fun and must've been a hoot to write.
