The author has avoided anachronisms that mar other authors' attempts at recreating a historical era, yet the sense of place and time isn't particularly strong. The investigation lacks focus and seems to stall in places. Leonardo never seems comfortable with his detective persona. Leonardo's apprentices are some of the strongest characters in the book, and I enjoyed the dynamics of their relationships. Dino's character is well developed, and Dino's secret is the most interesting aspect of the book for me, and it's enough of a hook to entice me to read the next book in the series.
