review 1: A murder has been committed. A man, in a jester's hat, has been buried behind a wall. Sound famiiar? It' the plot of Poe's "Cask of Amontillado." The murdered person is Billy Burton, owner/editor of "Gentleman's Magazine", where Poe wrote some of his most famous work. The local police want a slueth to solve the crime. So, who else to call but the creator of Dupin, the most famous detective of litery America, "Eddy" Poe? This wonderful "steampunk" story is told from the perspective of the famous author. Along with Tip, a talking raven, a doctor/mechanic and his lovely daughter, the plot gets more and more interesting as one reads. But, there is one problem: Poe thinks he is losing his sanity. He has just lost his belovd Virginia and thinks that is the reason for his tempora... morery madness. I started the book with doubts, but finished it with a smile. Recommended, esp if you're a Poe fan.
review 2: the book was a slow starter, but picked up pretty good. i enjoyed reading the book up until the last 25%, at that point it gets weird. it takes a turn towards the end that i would like to not have seen. the first 50% of the book at me gasping and exlaiming "what!?" just when i thought i had it figured out, wham! i am thrown in a differnt direction! i would love for the last part of the book to be written the same way as the first, would have been an incredibly good book then less
