Oscar Wilde and the Dead Man's Smile by Gyles Brandreth

4.0

I love the Oscar Wilde murder mysteries, they usually have me hooked. This one lost my attention at times, as the action slowed its pace, but in the final few chapters it had captivated me once more. It had fascinating bits of Parisian history and exaggerated actor-types (which were right on point) that made it easy for the reader to imagine the world described in this book. Although at times it gave you the feeling that you knew what was going to happen, or who the real culprit was, the last chapters reveal the truth and it's most likely not what you expected. I definitely recommend this book and the entire series!
