Clara and her sisters are fast becoming part of my favorite cozy mystery cats.
And also this series is becoming one of my favorites.
I like how the book is told by the cat POV and how sweet and naif but also sharp Becca is.
This was an excellent story that kept me hooked till the end, the cast of characters is likable and well thought, the mystery is solid and the solution came as a surprise.
I can't wait to read the next instalment in this series.
A gripping and entertaining read, highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

Even if it's well researched and informative I found it quite dreary and struggled.
I learned something more about the Mountbattens but it was a long list of facts.
Not my cup of tea.

I do remember some historical facts about Ravenna but I never read such a detailed and well research historical book about the city.
It was a fascinating and informative read and I loved the style of writing and how the author talks about historical characters making them fascinating and vivid.
It's an excellent read that I strongly recommend.

A heartbreaking and brilliant book where you don't know if you're reading if the reality or a dream. A child in a dilapidated mansion, parents who loves her but who don’t take care of her. A world where hints are hidden in the illustrations of books.
This is not a light and heartwarming story, it’s a dark fairy tale that deals with issue like child abuse and abuse.
Romilly is an unreliable narrator, you never know if her words reflect the reality or a mix of fantasy and reality. She’s a fleshed out and fascinating character and I couldn’t help feeling for her.
The adults in this story are far away, lost in their problems and I loved the empathy of the author toward her characters.
This gothic and heartbreaking story is well written and I think that the author is an excellent storyteller.
A brilliant story that kept me hooked and moved me, recommended.
