The Second Confession is the middle Zeck book (between And Be a Villain and In the Best Families. I don't think this is quite as good as the other two; besides Wolfe's orchid rooms getting shot up, there isn't that much memorable about it. Also, the gambit by which Wolfe smokes out the murderer doesn't quite hold up to close scrutiny. This may be my clue to go back to re-reading Gabaldon . . .
