This is a wonderful novella (which I received from the author in return only for a fair review), which seems to fill the word count much too quickly. I really enjoyed The Professor, and this one uses one of the secondary characters from that book, and writes an interesting, clever little mystery around one of his cases.The writing is simple, but flows really nicely, but what I particularly enjoy (and enjoyed about The Professor as well), is how well we get to know the main protagonist. We get to see and hear his thought processes and his emotions, and also get an intriguing glimpse into his agonies. It's all extremely human, and the whole book is shot through with an underlying sadness and futility, while not hitting you in the face with it.I can't wait for the next book by this author.4 stars. I really liked it.
