This was the book that kept me sane while I was having some health issues that sent me to an Emergency Room.
As I had to wait I started reading it was amazing as it helped to keep my mind from the issues and the bleak environment.
It's a riveting and well researched story, the characters are fleshed out and realistic, the historical background vivid.
There's secrets, murders, betrayal: I read it as fast as I could and loved it.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
