A fine locked room mystery set during the interwar period in Germany. The melodrama is over the top but it‘s a fun gothic read.

Ah, this book is so much fun! It has everything you could want from a Gothic melodrama murder mystery: a sinister magician, a burning corpse, a tempestuous storm, cocktails, candlelit mansions, illicit affairs, secret passages, 2 detectives vying to solve the crime, a castle overlooking the Rhein that's SHAPED LIKE A SKULL!! 😃 It's ridiculous, but marvellous, and I loved every word of it! ⭐⭐⭐⭐
