Joseph Duncan's second installment in the continuing adventures of magic bungler and investigator extraordinaire Dixon Peters comes into its own in this less bawdy, but equally entertaining tale. I no longer get the feelings of déjà vu I got in the first novel from Jim Butcher's Harry Dresden novels.Instead, the author develops the characters and the 1930s epoch in which they evolve in greater detail, giving them further life and dimension while spinning a stimulating tale of intrigue, deception, double dealings in a tapestry full of surprises and satisfying twists and turns.A thoroughly enjoyable read. Highly recommended to amateurs of fantasy who do not shy away before a bit of mildly explicit content.
