An excellent and fascinating book that kept me hooked till the end.
It's realistic, well researched, gripping and entertaining and I was left wondering if the author lived in Bologna because the descriptions and the characters are so realistic, one of the best mystery set in Italy I read in quite a long time.
The plot is well crafted, full of twists and turns, and the characters are well thought.
I can't wait to read other books by this author and I strongly recommend it.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

The characters are interesting and I liked the style of writing.

I was happy to meet again Ace and Rory and go back to New York living a lot of adventures with them.
This is an engrossing and entertaining story and I loved the plot, well thought world building, the humour and the fleshed out characters.
The romance is sweet and I always root for Rory and Ace.
I can't wait to read the next installment.
Highly recommended.

Even if the plot is interesting I couldn't connect to the characters that I found unlikeable and the story fell flat.
Not my cup of tea.

I fell in love with the amazing cover and enjoyed the well written story.
It's gripping, entertaining and with a fascinating cast of characters.
I appreciated the interesting world building and I loved how the author recreates an imaginary Paris where the French Revolution never took place.
I liked the fast pace and I liked what I read but I missed a more cohesive plot as it seems it was a series of tasks like in a tv serial. There's a quest and there's a lot of things happening but it takes a while before connecting them.
The characters are well thought and interesting.
Looking forward to reading the next instalment in this series.
