Rating: 4 out of 5

While investigating the death of a man who has fallen from a castle wall, Inspector Faro soon finds himself involved in much more than a simple murder investigation.  Events of the near and distant past arise which may have a bearing on the case.  One learns a bit about Mary Queen of Scots and political intrigues of that time which may have a profound effect on the present.  It all makes for a very interesting and captivating story.The dialogue,  interesting characters and scenic descriptions are very well done to keep the reader's interest. Inspector Faro does a marvelous job looking into the many and varied  aspects of the case while trying to enjoy a bit of domestic bliss with his visiting mother and daughters. This and other subplots add much to the enjoyment of the book.  Like another reviewer I was less than satisfied with the ending.  Still, I am looking forward to book 3 in the series.
