This is the start of a new historical mystery series and I was attracted by the name of the author, Jessica Ellicott, as I love other series she writes.
I expected something a bit lighter but I enjoyed it as the historical background is vivid, the characters fleshed out and interesting, the solid mystery kept me guessing.
Can't wait to read the next story.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
