Arrowood never disappoints and enjoyed this story even if I found it bleaker that the others.
The mix of historical fiction and mystery is as good as usual and the author deals with issues like colonialism and racism in Victorian age.
As this is fiction and not a history book it is included in the plot and I liked how the author dealt with it.
The mystery is solid, full of twists and turns.
The characters are well thought and I was glad to catch up with them
i look forward to read the next instalment.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
