Any additional comments?
I approached this book expecting a typical murder mystery. To some it may very well be but I found it more of a psychological study/love story using murder to move our protagonist, Steve, through coming to terms with who he is and finding romance. The eclectic cast of supporting characters assisting Steve on his journey of discovery is a group of street performers, a detective, a ferry deck hand, former students, a scientist, Steve’s landlady and a baker.

As the murder investigation moves along different people become suspects and the identity of the killer wasn’t tipped until late in the novel. The evidence was not strong enough for an immediate arrest and an elaborate “stage play” is designed to trap the killer. This was a unique turn for me and I enjoyed it very much.

I do recommend a listen to this book. I think it is well worth the time.

Mr Stifel handles the multitude of characters well although I found some of the character voices a little emotionless.
