A fast paced and gripping noir that kept me on the edge till the end.
It's the first I read by this author and won't surely be the last as I loved the well thought and interesting characters, the storytelling and the tightly knitted plot.
Excellent, highly recommended.

I liked this entertaining story, engrossing and enjoyable.
I liked the characters and the plot.
I think that the world building is a bit lacking and it would help to add some more information.

I loved this irreverent retelling of Greek mythology. It made me laugh and look at the well know stories with new eyes.
I laughed a lot and appreciated the humor.
Highly recommended.

Dark and disturbing, gripping and fascinating.
Even if it's out of my comfort zone I appreciated this creepy and interesting book.

I like this series because the stories are always enjoyable and entertaining. All the books can be read as a standalone even if they’re more enjoyable if you read them in order. This one was inspired by Dickens’ A Christmas Carol and it was a lot of fun trying to identify the references. I think it’s an excellent historical cozy mystery. I like the well researched and vivid historical background that makes you travel to Fiction London and does not spare details about how the poorest people lived. Dickens is quite a likeable and fleshed out characters and I love both Kate and Julie. I missed Kate in this book as she’s the real sleuth even if the historical moment force her a bit in the background. The plot was well developed even if a bit too slow in the middle. I loved the Timothy subplot and despised Kate’s family for being such bigots. The mystery is full of twists and turns and even if I guessed the culprit I had a lot of fun at identifying the clues. I look forward to reading further stories in this series, this one is recommended. Many thanks to Kensington Books and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

I'm so happy because I missed Nick&Nora as this is one of my favourite series.
I had a lot of fun reading this story and I couldn't put it down as I was turning pages as fast as I could.
It was great to catch up with the characters: they are well thought and likeable as usual.
The mystery is fast paced, full of twists and turns, and the solution came as a surprise. There's plenty of secrets, a very unlikeable victim, had a very clever cat that will help to solve the mystery.
As I'm not a fun of love triangles I appreciated how it didn't impacted the plot and hope it will be solved soon.
I hope to read a lot of new Nick&Nora novels, this one is highly recommended.

I love the Museum Mysteries Series and was happy to start a new series by Jim Eldridge.
It's an highly entertaining and gripping read that mixes historical characters, like King Zog, with fiction making it works and delivering a very enjoyable novel.
The mystery is complex and solid, the solution came as a surprise and I loved the well researched historical background.
I can't wait to read the next instalment, this one is highly recommended.

What a gripping and highly entertaining story. I read it in one afternoon unable to put it down.
It's a clever, well crated and well written story. It made me smile and I try to guess who was doing what but I had to wait for the final revelation.
Well rounded and likeable characters, a solid mystery full of twists and turns, an interesting background that mixes fictional and historical characters.
I had a lot of fun and hope to read other stories featuring HRM investigating.
It's strongly recommended.
