I'm a fan of Ruth Galloway books but this is the first one I read in this series.
And it's a wonderful mystery, with a sound plot and a well researched and detailed historical background.
The book is fast paced, a real page turner you cannot put down.
The characters are well fleshed out and I really liked both Max Mephisto and Edgard. I also liked the descriptions of the show and the theatrical environment.
Entertaining, enjoyable and fun to read, I strongly recommend this book.
Many thanks to Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and Edelweiss for this ARC
