It's the first book I read in this series and won't surely be the last as I thoroughly enjoyed.
An excellent historical mystery with an unusual and fascinating MC and a well researched and vivid historical background.
I loved the fleshed out characters and the solid mystery, full of twists and turns, that kept me guessing.
Even if it can be read as a stand-alone it's better to read the previous book because there's some backstory and I felt I was missing something.
A gripping and highly entertaining read, strongly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
