By chapter 3 I thought I had figured out how the murder was done. It turned out I was sort of correct, but the plot twists about the marriage of the victim, subsequent murders and the wonderful background characters kept me fascinated. You cannot beat having the coroner lambast an "ancient" couple he left to guard a body for eating while they waited, only to have them remark that, with the time it took the coroner to return, he would have had another couple of bodies dead from starvation. Sacred space indeed!
