A very impressive first novel; I hope to read more from this writer. A brilliantly constructed mystery featuring an appealing but derelict young man who hangs himself in a bookstore, leaving behind a bizarre trail of clues. The whole elaborate plot is set in motion by a seemingly trivial event: a haircut. Engaging characters, a fascinating setting, seemingly unrelated events and players whose connection to each other is gradually revealed. A thoroughly enjoyable read. Those looking for a thriller might be disappointed; neither is it a cozy literary mystery but a rather dark story that should appeal to murder mystery fans.
