This the excellent start of a new historical mystery series. It's compelling, gripping, and well written.
Elizabeth is a fascinating character and I loved her character arc and how she started to live again accepting and managing her grief.
The historical background is detailed and well researched, the mystery solid and full of twists.
I loved the storytelling and can't wait to read the next book
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
