The rattling voice of the narrator has subsequently incorporated many lousy reviews. Hears quite rightly so, because even the layman, that there is no small error is undermined.
The quality of the story itself should be clearly separate them, however.
There's the atmosphere first. Screaming gulls, glittering sea, pattering rain, piano tones, while the 3rd Detective "built of huge rough rocks stones" at a house (Quote) climbing up. The Start I find anything but evil. Likewise, the supporting basic theme of the secret society very to my liking. Scene of events is also a more than 100-year-old University with Mysterious past - and this can not be never quite wrong for a detective story. About flashy red slippers bearing villains I can gallantly overlooked when the translations from the Latin, the chases and the intractable secret writing me as beautiful memory lane (Stilsicher such as, for example, is quoted from the Epistulae of Horace "Naturam expellas furca, tamen usque recurret "- who his first Latin phrase in a ??? - heard radio drama, the cold can not be).
In summary, due to a technical defect and hopelessly exaggerated demands for a "realistic" story completely underestimated result. Stylish 4 star.
