This is the first book I read in this series and it's really wonderful. I never read the others but I saw the tv series so I already met some of the characters.
This novel is dark, atmospheric and enthralling. You cannot help being involved in the story and you cannot put it down.
I love everything: the plot, the characters and the setting.
I'm sorry that this's going to be the last book in the series, I'll surely read the previous ones.
Highly recommended!

A fascinating and atmospheric mystery with a fascinating cast of characters and an interesting setting.
The plot was interesting, full of twists and turns, and kept me guessing till the end.
I had some problems with the patois used and I think I'd be better to have read the other instalments before reading this one.
I love Barbara Hambly's work and this one didn't disappoint me.

This book is very slow and repetitive at the beginning but when it starts going it's very good.
I loved the characters and the setting. The plot was engaging and entertaining.
A very engaging paranormal series that makes me feel curious about the next instalments.

A very good, engaging and informative historical mystery. It's well researched and it's a very realistic and colouful depiction of the historical period.
The mystery was interesting and enthralling even if a bit slow at the beginning. After the first part I was hooked and had to keep on reading.
One of the best piece of historical fiction I read this year.

I like to read some good horror fiction and this was really good as I was scared to death. The book is a bit slow at the beginning but when it starts going it's enthralling and you cannot put it down.
It made me discover very good author I didn't know and a very good book I really enjoyed.
Highly recommended!

I love Tess Whitehurst's books and I liked this one. It's full of interesting insights and exercises and, even if it's at beginner level, it can be useful to everybody.

A good historical mystery with an interesting plot and likeable characters.
I really enjoyed this book and had no problems in understanding the characters and their relationship even if it's the second instalment in a series.
I surely read other books by this author.

This's the first Jo Nesbo book I've ever read so I cannot compare it to other he wrote. I can say I find this an entertaining read even if I prefer to books that are not so gory.
The book is entertaining, well written and the plot mirrors the original Shakespeare tragedy. The characters are interesting and well developed.
Unfortunately sometimes it's a bit over the top, too gory and too dark, and it reminded me me of Tarantino or some B movie parody.
A good book that I recommend.
