The Bowl of Night (Rosemary Edghill)

This is the last in a loosely linked trilogy of mysteries starring a pagan detective, Bast. It's the only one I've read of the series, but it doesn't suffer from that. It does quite a good job of filling in Bast's past without doing a Sweet Valley High ("Jessica and Elizabeth were twin sisters, with blonde hair and blue eyes...").

As a mystery, it was pretty poor - it was obvious who the culprit almost as soon as the body is found. However, I liked Edghill's style, and I enjoyed the pagan scene background, as it were. However, it's really only of interest as a curiousity, and not a good book in its own right, so I'd only give it 2.5 out of 5.
