Convinced that he is destined for great wealth, power, and influence, Edward Glyver will do anything to reclaim a prize that is rightfully his, including a showdown with his rival, poet-criminal Phoebus Rainsford Daunt.

At first, I was almost disappointed that the story strayed so far from the initial topic of murder, but then I got really into it. I felt that the language had an appropriate level of Victorian-era flourish without sounding too silly. I shouldn't have picked this as one of the three books I have to read in December to meet my goal, though. I wish I could've given it more time.
I just can't get into this book, so I'm leaving off on p. 86. Maybe I'll get back to it sometime in the future...
