I found this story entertaining and engrossing. I'm a fan of Golden Age mystery and appreciated how the author recreated the atmosphere of those mysteries and that age.
The mystery is solid and kept me guessing, the character are interesting and I liked the atmosphere.
Recommended.

I had some issues with the Kindle version so I switched to the PDF and was more than happy to read this book.
It's one of the best book I read about Tarots and I read quite a lot. It's detailed, full of explanations and the old fashioned style of writing add to its charm.
A very good book, highly recommended!

This is the first book I read by this author and requested it because I was fascinated by the plot.
I had no expectations and even if I had them they were surely exceeded because it’s a highly entertaining and thought provoking story that I couldn’t put down.
There’s plenty of humor but there’s also plenty of philosophical consideration about knowledge, our relationship with technology and the world we live.
It’s set in a post-apocalyptic world where knowledge can define your way of living and it defines the two opposed factions: the Commonwealth and the Keepers. They have a different way of living but both are living in the aftermath of a catastrophe that destroyed the previous civilization.
Being a knowledge worker I was fascinated by how the two factions approached technology and how they differ in the approach to the world around them.
It could seem a very serious book, speculative fiction, but there’s a lot of humor and action making it gripping and enjoyable.
The world building is excellent and I loved how the author described the environment and the way of living.
There’s a lot of great women characters: they are strong willed, fleshed out and fascinating. The character development is excellent and all the characters are vivid and well written.
Mr Miller is a talented storyteller and once you start reading you are hooked.
I read somewhere this is the first in a series and I can’t wait to read the next installment.
I loved this story and it’s strongly recommended.

I love historical mystery and when I saw this title on Rachel's Random Resources blog tour list I was attracted by the blurb.
I am happy I joined this blogtour because I discovered a new interesting historical mystery series and a new to me author.
This is a gripping, informative and highly entertaining story that kept me hooked and made me travel in time.
I loved the vivid and well researched historical background. Even if I didn’t know a lot about that specific historical time I learned a lot and I want to learn more about it.
The descriptions are realistic and vivid, you cannot help feeling sad for how terrible the life of the poor was.
Josiah Ainscough is a likable, well written and interesting character. I liked him and I found the rest of the characters fleshed out and well written.
The mystery is solid and it kept me guessing till the end.
I want to read the other books in this series as I found this one fascinating.
Strongly recommended.

I usually choose a book if the blurb sounds interesting b I know they can be sometimes deceiving.
There's always some expectations because you think you're going to read an exciting and gripping story.
I can say that I wasn't disappointed because this is is an exciting and gripping story.
It's fast paced, action packed, full of twists and turns.
I loved Jessie as she's a brass, opinionated and strong willed woman who cannot be stop in her search for justice.
She's a well written and fleshed character and I can say that the character development is excellent.
The plot is tightly knitted and it kept me on the edge till the end.
This is the second in a series but it can say I had no issues with the characters or the plot. I will surely read the first installment as I loved Jessie and the style of writing.
I thoroughly enjoyed this story and can't wait to read other books in this series.
Highly recommended.

This is the first book i read in this series and won’t surely be the last as I inhaled.
A gripping, fast paced and action packed story that kept me on the edge till the last page as it’s full of twists and turns.
I love detective team: Porter and Tyler are two interesting and well thought character and I liked their friendship and the sense of mutual trust. Porter is still grieving the death of this wife but we se him changing and maybe finding a way to heal. Styler is well thought and I like him.
There’s a lot of character development and the author did a great job in delivering interesting, sometimes twisted, and fleshed out characters.
The mystery is solid and I like the main plot and the subplot. The solution came as a surprise and all the questions in the plot were answered.
It is interesting how the author deals with issues like racism and sovranism and how he waives this issues into the plot
I bought all the book in this series after reading this one as I want to read more by this author and want to learn the backstories.
Even if it’s the fourth in a series it can be read and appreciated as a stand-alone.
It’s strongly recommended.

The Secret, Book, and Scone Society series is one of my favorite and it never disappoints or fails to keep me hooked.
This book was no exception and I loved every moment.
It mixes mystery and women's fiction as usual and the mix works perfectly keeping you turning pages as fast as you can.
I love this group of women and I'm always happy to catch up with them and read their stories.
The character development is excellent as usual and I love how the characters change and evolve.
I also loved how the author deals with some important issues and make them part of the plot.
The mystery is solid and kept me guessing.
I can't wait to read the next installment, this one is highly recommended.

This book kept me reading till 3 am as I couldn't put it down so it's a sure five star for me.
It's always great read mysteries featuring Samantha, her Nana and the group of senior.
I missed the usual setting a bit but I loved the tightly knitted story and the solid mystery.
The characters are as likable as usual and the mystery is full of twists and turn.
I also liked the mystery Samantha is writing and I would be happy if one of them got an entire book.
I was a bit perplexed by a couple of moments at the beginning (how can you enter UK without a passport ? and how can you attack a perfect stranger and not being arrested) but I thoroughly enjoyed the story.
I look forward to the next installment and strongly recommend this one.

To be honest I thought this was the first in a new fantasy series and the discovered it was the fourth.
That said I loved every moment and couldn't put it down even if I'm sure I didn't understand some references to the previous stories and some parts of the world building.
I found the storytelling excellent and was enthralled loving the tightly knitted plot and this fascinating universe.
The world building and the character development are excellent and I loved the characters.
I'm happy I read this book because I have three to read and look forward to the rest of the series as I'm hooked.
Strongly recommended.
