Close to the finish. Murderer/torturer revealed and is very fitting. His past (including abuse at the hands of his father) makes the torturing sensible . . . if that's a sensible thing to say. Very exciting final scenes. The subplot of race plays out in the discovery of the murderer. I like this book very much, and it's way off my normal turf.
Excellent start . . . orphaned girl with a knack for chess, taught by janitor, harsh orphanage despite its courtly look.
