I love historical mystery and when I saw this title on Rachel's Random Resources blog tour list I was attracted by the blurb.
I am happy I joined this blogtour because I discovered a new interesting historical mystery series and a new to me author.
This is a gripping, informative and highly entertaining story that kept me hooked and made me travel in time.
I loved the vivid and well researched historical background. Even if I didn’t know a lot about that specific historical time I learned a lot and I want to learn more about it.
The descriptions are realistic and vivid, you cannot help feeling sad for how terrible the life of the poor was.
Josiah Ainscough is a likable, well written and interesting character. I liked him and I found the rest of the characters fleshed out and well written.
The mystery is solid and it kept me guessing till the end.
I want to read the other books in this series as I found this one fascinating.
Strongly recommended.
Many thanks to Paul CW Beatty and Rachel's Random Resource for this ARC, all opinions are mine
