Exquisite as I remembered from first reading twenty years ago. Dialogue sparkles and the plot is layered like an infinite onion. Absolutely marvelous. I shall need to visit Scotland again after this.

Lymond entering the hall of Midculter as written by Dunnett,” Lucent and delicate, Drama entered, mincing like a cat.” What aa apt description and delicious turn of phrase.

Last read this close to 20 years ago. Loved it then. Loving it again. Loaded with historical references, full of vibrant characters and very smart language, yet paced like an adventure, Dunnett is a masterful storyteller.
