BOOK REVIEW: 'Vienna Waltz' by Teresa Grant

Monday, March 12, 2012

Vienna Waltz by Teresa Grant

Vienna Waltz is a very enjoyable murder mystery set during the Vienna Congress of 1814.

It has a fascinating mix of true historical figures, such as the Russian Czar and Prince Metternich, and imaginary characters such as our heroine, Suzanne Rannoch, who has a rather shady past. With lots of descriptions of gorgeous clothes, diplomats dancing at glittering balls, and skulduggery in dark, stinking alleyways, the setting is vivid and believable, and the mystery itself an intriguing puzzle.
