Her narrative lyricism, beautifully drawn female characters and deft journey from the past to the present day, are also a cut above. One of Herbert's best, but not without problems. The pacing is good and develops nicely towards a (batshit crazy) conclusion. The (male) characters are well drawn out and you get a good sense of their motivation. And the usual Herbert clichés are in place; the hero (Halloran) is a middle aged man with deep psychological scars, the female lead is essentially there to be rescued by, and have sex with, the hero and the conclusion is massively over the top. But it's good if you can read it in the context of a pulpy 1980s horror. The story opens at Damaris Gethin’s latest exhibition, a spectacle featuring live models posing as infamous killers. Rachel Savernake, perplexed by her invitation, finds herself cornered by the artist herself. Damaris, moments before taking her own life on stage, implores Rachel to solve her murder. As the lights go out and the guillotine falls, a multitude of questions arise: Why would Damaris choose to end her life? What did she mean by “solve my murder”?

On floor 4, a missing pad has been added to the sword trap at the end of the north path to indicate where the sword stops, the sword and fire trap combination on the south path now has two possible solutions to reduce the amount of wait time, the last two flames of the fire trap on the northern path are now active on every rotation, and the final bolt and teleport pad combination on the south path now has some blue teleport pads. On floor 2, some blue teleport pads have been added to the north, east and west paths, and the last fire trap on the east path now has a more reasonable respawn coordinate if players fail at the end of it.Another great entry in this series from Martin Edwards sees Rachel Savernake asked to investigate a suicide, (or is it murder?) It could be said that some of deductions of the main investigator Rachel Savernake seem to strain at the limits of what might be. But the same can sometimes be said of Miss Marple’s uncanny intuition and, when we’re having fun, it seems churlish to complain. An acute reader should have solved many of the many mysteries that the story throws up and still find one or two final revelations to wrong foot them.

Also attending the exhibit is Jacob Flint, crime reporter for The Clarion and sometime member of Rachel’s crime-solving team. Jacob is interested in getting an interview with Mrs. Kiki de Villiers, a mysterious socialite who is in the crosshairs of a Clarion investigation. With the death of Damaris, Jacob is thrown into a second mystery as well, both with the same cast of characters. Leaving the Hallowed Sepulchre using an obelisk will now restore run energy if players are wearing Saradomin items.

And eventually Halloran will The timer is paused after passing the final obstacle on each floor. This area contains magical obelisks, which will restore the player's run energy if a Saradomin item is equipped and can be used to exit the sepulchre. In this tale she is certainly given that; asked to the exhibition of renowned artist Damaris Gethin which features live models as famous killers, she is uncertain why she is there. Gethin soon makes this clear by asking her to solve her murder! Taking to the stage Damaris then stages her own guillotine execution. Did she take her own life? In which case what did she mean by solving her murder. Rachel investigates… On floor 5, the bolt statues for the final trap have been moved forward slightly so their animations can be seen more easily, and the first bolt and teleport pad combination trap now has a few more blue teleport tiles. Part of what kept me glued to this book was that it was based in France for both timelines. The French terms were not familiar, but they flowed so well that it didn't matter.
