Went out to Borders yesterday at lunch, nabbed it, read it.  (Now when's 
the next one? (-: )

What I like most is how this Vlad isn't quite the same one as the one 
we've been seeing in =Dzur= & =Issola=.  I would think getting the 
nuances of character right as you jump around the time line & the 
character evolves to be a hard writing job, but this one strikes me as 
taking just the right tone & showing the right Vlad.  Well done!

Now for the basically insignificant spoilers:

I found myself trying to figure out what Burz reminded me of & found 
myself reaching for Poisonville in, um, =Red Harvest= w/ Hammett's 
Continental Op.  Dunno why, exactly; just had a similar flavor, small 
town, corruption, mysterious history & you can't trust anyone.  Been a 
while since I've read it, so it could be all wrong:  it was just a stray 
memory impression.  Vlad's solving the mystery in, um, unique posture is 
a nice touch.

However, what really intrigued me was trying to figure out what the 
chapter headings reminded me of.  I was holding out for Tuppence and 
Tommy, then Lord Peter & Lady Harriet, but finally plumped for Nick and 
Nora Charles.   And I'd *really* like to read/see performed the play, 
now!  Sounds like it would be a hoot (-:
