This series is becoming a favorite as I love the humor and the quirky characters.
This is the second novel and I thoroughly enjoyed it as it's engrossing and highly entertaining.
It's not a classic whodunit as it mixes the personal story of the characters with the plot and the mystery is part of a more complex story with a number of subplots.
The author does an excellent job in delivering a story that flows and never confuses the reader, it always keeps your attention alive and all the different subplots are very enjoyable.
The historical background is well researched and vivid. Even if David is high-middle class we meet people from all the social classes and there's plenty of description of how terrible was the life of the poor.
I love David but I also love Alan, the travelling preacher cousin who wants to help people to meet Jesus through joy. The letters that Alan write are always interesting and funny.
The mystery is solid and the solution came as a surprise.
I strongly recommend this novel as it's well written and entertaining.
Many thanks to Allison & Busby for this ARC, all opinions are mine
