An excellent story, gripping and entertaining.
It's the first book I read by this author and won't surely be the last because I loved the character development and the style of of writing.
The author is a talented storyteller and kept me hooked to this story that mixes different genres as historical fiction, women's fiction and romance making them work together and creating a fast paced plot that never bores and always keep the attention alive.
The historical background is well researched and vivid, the characters are well rounded and interesting and I rooted for them hoping in a happy ending.
An excellent read that I strongly recommend.

I can't wait for the next instalment in this series because I loved Katie and want to to know what will be next in this quant village.
It's a great start for a new series, well written and well plotted. that kept me involved till the end turning pages as fast as I could.
The author delivers a fun to read and engrossing story with a great cast of characters and a lovely setting.
Katie is my favourite characters: she's a strong willed woman, likable and well rounded and I have great hopes for her future adventure. The other characters are quirky and fleshed out and I liked the empathy of the author toward those who were hurt.
The setting is lovely and I loved how the author describes the small village dynamics with the gossip, the prejudices and I laughed reading the descriptions of the tourist looking for murder places.
The mystery is solid, full of twists and turns, and kept me guessing. I hope that Katie will be a bit more reckless in the future and not join the "cozy mystery club of wish death heroine".
I also like the slow burning romance and look forward to read about its development.
It was an excellent and fun read that I strongly recommend.

I'm a huge fan of Lucy Gilmore as I love her style of writing and her humor.
Her books always made me laugh and root for the characters and this one was no exception.
Her characters, both human and canine, are always well thought and fleshed out and you cannot help rooting for them and enjoying their antics.
I loved Dawn and Adams and I really appreciated that Adam is blind making him a more realistic and human male characters. His strength and his personality are fascinating. Dawn is another great characters and I loved her.
The plot hooked me since the first pages and I laughed a lot and rooted for the characters. It's the third book I read in this series and I think they are all brilliant.
It was a fun and engrossing read and I can't wait for the next instalment. It's strongly recommended.

In a contest for "The book you don't want to end" (2020 edition) this story would win. I'm usually a fast reader but I was reading it slowly because it was like drinking a fine wine that you have to savour a bit at a time,
I wanted to appreciate the great characters, the amazing world building and the style of writing.
It's hard to express how much I loved this story and how hard it was to let it go hoping to read soon the second part in this duology.
I can't find any fault to this book because everything is perfect: the style of writing, the character development, the storytelling and the well researched and vivid historical background.
I enjoyed what I read and I learned a lot about some historical fact I didn't know.
I can't wait for the next book and to read again the second part of this great story.
Fun, entertaining and brilliant: it's strongly recommended.

An intriguing and fascinating novel set in the future even if it talks about what's going on now.

Even if I appreciated the style of writing the plot didn't keep my attention and the story fell flat.
Not my cup of tea.
