Great read, good plot, shame about the ending - By: M. H. Costeris, 04 Jan 2008
The Bad Quarto is a detective story set in Cambridge, involving wonderfully arcane Cambridge customs, mad university politics & a Shakespeare play. I finished it in one go & will certainly read it again some day.
Where the previous book, Debts of Dishonour, was a huge disappointment, this is quality stuff. A great one for anglophiles, lovers of Shakespeare & the old-fashioned detective story, where you can still gather information by buying the local bum a cup of tea even if he is on drugs now.
The only thing I didn't like was the hasty ending. I rather enjoyed the characters & could have done with a bit more wrap up time.
