Death by Gaslight: A Professor Moriarty Novel

I think this is the best of Kurland's Moriarty novels, containing various different subplots woven around each other adroitly and amusingly. I admire the skill that's gone into it.

I still give it only three stars, because I'm mainly a reader of sf and fantasy: I quite enjoy these novels but they're not exactly my kind of thing, and I don't expect to reread them more than occasionally.

I find the characters, scenes, and subplots entertaining but not fascinating. I'm more fascinated by the same author's best sf/fantasy novels, which I reread regularly and therefore rate more highly.
