kjcharles's review
Detective novel with occult elements. They mystery is good, the occult elements genuinely spooky and some of the plotting very ingenious. Unfortunately, the detectives are high-whimsy--prissy older man wrong about everything and comedy French detective who keeps getting idioms wrong--and the narrative beats the joke to death by about ch3 but *does not stop*. I doubt I'll read another in this series for that reason but this is a good addition if you're after 1920s occult murder mystery.
