Not my first Faith Martin's book but the first in this series and I thoroughly enjoyed.
A riveting, entertaining and well written historical cozy mystery that kept me turning pages.
The winter atmosphere is magic and I liked the descriptions of the setting.
Ryder and Loveday are a couple of likeable and clever investigators, well developed and fleshed out.
The solid mystery is full of twists and kept me guessing.
Can't wait to read the rest of this series.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
