Oh yes, there's definitely a lot going on in the background in BH. What's interesting is the extent to which it isn't always obvious. The novel's origins as a play, it seems to me, are evident not just in the rather visual and enclosed murder plot, but the way that the background functions more as background than in some of the previous novels.
