What made the experience of listening to Mortal Mischief the most enjoyable?
The setting, the city of Vienna at its best, made this an engaging story that was difficult to leave. One tends to forget how important and influential it was. I loved the policeman and the psychiatrist meeting for musical evenings. It made them both whole people with interests and lives of their own. I did worry about the policeman's wife seeing him with the actress. That never seemed to be resolved. But perhaps it will come up in the next book in the series, which is already on my wish list.Who was your favorite character and why?
I enjoyed them all.Which character – as performed by Richard Burnip – was your favorite?
Hard to say. Burnip did an excellent job. His accent was believable, and he managed to do credible women's voices without sounding like he was getting ready for transgender surgery. Always a plus.If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
I have no idea what a tag line is, so I have no answer for this.Any additional comments?
This was a great story and a really interesting opening of what seems like it will be a very engaging series.It left me hungry for pastry and Strauss.

The narrator, Mr. Burnip, gives a masterclass, and, bonus feature, has a lovely singing voice.
This is a wonderful book. Yes, it takes time to develop, but it is well worth the wait. The characters are rich and complex. I am grateful for the Vienna Blood cable series (which is also excellent) for introducing me to Frank Tallis and his marvelous characters.
Settle in with a pastry and coffee, and savor!
Superb Writing and Narration

Would you try another book from Frank Tallis and/or Richard Burnip?
No.What could Frank Tallis have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
The main characters (doctor and detective) were not well drawn - Doctor was a know-it-all, perfect type, the inspector was just dumb - and he wasn't supposed to be. A really lame plot.What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
The problem I had with the narrator was I couldn't distinguish who was saying what in dialogue. No enough differentiation. Besides that he was good.What character would you cut from Mortal Mischief?
All of them - all were predictable and not that interesting.Any additional comments?
This is the first book in the series; maybe the following ones are better.Ho-hum Victorian mystery
