Cora Harrison's historical mystery are always well written and gripping but my favourites are those featuring the Reverend Mother as they're solid mystery but also the vivid and well researched portrait of Cork after the Irish Indipendence.
There's the very rich, the very poor, there's political unrest and indipendentist. The Reverend Mother is an exceptional character, a strong and clever woman who can deal with people from any social class.
This book starts with a bang and kept me turning pages and guessing.
An excellent book: gripping and fascinating.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
