a book found in the infamous library discard box. I remember hearing about the Yellowthread Street Mysteries, and I thought to myself, "Great! I can try one for free."I'm glad it was free. I understand that part of the enjoyment of the Yellowthread books likes in the slightly offbeat characters. Unlike Stuart Kaminsky's Rostinkov mysteries most of the characters did not engage my interest. Oh Auden finally got a little interesting about 2/3rds of the way through to story. I found Auden's imagining himself as the Great Detective amusing. I actually had more fun with Feiffer's Macao counterpart Chagas. Author William Marshall did his best dialogue writing job on Chagas. The mystery really didn't draw me in either.I don't know. Maybe it was because I think this entry is towards the mid-point of the series, and possibly I'm missing something. After the last two books that I have read just wondering if I'm a curmudgeonly mood lately.
