I guess I enjoyed this well enough. a swiftly paced romp through Edwardian England and Naples ("Edwardian Naples" just doesn't sound right) featuring Her Majesty's Special Assassin - the snobby and callous Lucifer Box. many things are afoot and those things include murder, a sex club, a rather insensitively handled trans character, some painting, some servant troubles, and a nefarious plot to destroy all of Italy. plus (view spoiler)[a lead who turns out to be bisexual; which - as a bi fellow myself - was (hide spoiler)] a special treat. Gatiss is famous for various things, and somewhere along the way he wrote this bit of fluff. I hope he enjoyed his lark! he clearly has talent and his writing is light, bubbly, tart, and easy going down. but I'm sad to say that there was perhaps one too many puns or one too many kooky names, which led to one too many disgruntled expressions on my face, , which led to *shrug* 2 stars.

but you will probably like this more than me because you are probably not (view spoiler)[an (hide spoiler)] like me. it's a fun book. ish.
