Having just finished Pawn in Frankincense I am now flailing about incoherently. So many twists and turns and doublings-back of plot! So many things that seemed to so obviously be one thing, only to turn out to be something completely different!

OK, this was not my first Dorothy Dunnett so I wasn't exactly surprised. Just a bit breathtaken at the sheer extent of it.

I did actually find a copy of the next book in the Oxfam bookshop yesterday lunchtime, but given the utter atrociousness of its cover I'm very glad I already have them all on Kindle...
