An excellent historical mystery, gripping and gritty.
The plot is complex and tightly knitted, the characters are fleshed out and interesting, the historical background is well researched and vivid.
I loved the solid mystery that kept me guessing and the descriptions of the life in New York in the middle XIX century.
I hope it's the first in a series and there will be another one out soon.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
