A gripping, gritty, and well written historical mystery, the fourth in the Simon Westow series. I love Chris Nickson's series as there's a strong sense of the place (Leeds) and of the historical times.
There's not a whitewashed description, we are not spared the details of the life of the poors.
There are some very sad moments in this story and there's a a very well written mystery and a well researched historical background.
Excellent book.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
