What a wonderful historical thriller! There's a great plot, full of twists and turns, great characters and a well researched historical background.
The two main characters are realistic and well developed, and their relationship is interesting and engaging.
The book is atmospheric and enthralling and once you start reading you cannot put it down.
One of the best piece of historical fiction read this year.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to Canongate Books and Netgalley for this book.
