4,5* rounded to 5
This book kept me turning pages as fast as I could as it's a riveting, bleak and well written historical mystery set in a very interesting time.
Mixing historical facts and fiction the author delivers a fascinating story featuring an unreliable narrator and a plot that involves politics and spy story.
I loved the descriptions of London, they were detailed and I was brought back in time.
I hope it's the first in a series as I'd love to read another story so well written and well researched.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
