You had me at Vienna...

Amazon's 'Your Store' can be a bit of a pain - if it's not the scrolling through, ticking 'own that' and 'not interested' boxes, it's the liability to spend, spend, spend. Once in a while however, it turns up something that suits you down to the ground.

On Amazon's recommendation I bought a copy of Frank Tallis's 'Mortal Mischief'. I'm not a huge fan of whodunnits but it's set in Vienna (tick), during 1902 (tick), and the hero's a psychiatrist not a detective (tick). It arrived this morning, and I dipped in instantly... fair bit of telegraphed historical detail, family history etc, but when a detective finally appears, he's been rehearsing Hugo Wolf lieder (kerching!).

Well done Amazon (and Mr Tallis) :)
