Alas, this mystery should be better than it is. It's set in Renaissance Milan and features Ludovico 'Il Moro' Sforza, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Niccolo, an intelligent and well-educated dwarf. Unfortunately, the plot soon grows so complicated and the murders occur so frequently and bizarrely that I soon lost track of who did what to whom and why, and was muttering, "Yeah, well., whatever." Not much comedy in it, either.
