The House of the Red Slayer

Paul Doherty

Having read it

★★★★☆

A solid read with a decent pace to it (despite its opening chapters, to me, feeling a little rushed) and with good characters helping drive a good mystery.

A good passage

‘What does that mean?’
‘Cicero’s famous question: “Who profits?”’
