Review of 'Reckoning at the Riviera Royale' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
In a series of idiosyncratic books, I think this is the most peculiar of them, at least until now. Mr. Fitzsimmons goes to extremes to make a locked room murder out of a whole island. The book is not bad, it's just too "Boisjoly". Everything is too tailored to fit in the story. But Mr. Fitzsimmons certainly shows no lack of imagination. Although I don't care for another wilted romance. More mystery and less 'amore', please. But I suppose that Chaddy Quillfeather will be Anty's Vera Rossakoff, or his Irene Adler.
