My rating: 4 Stars
My opinion: LOVED this book. A lover of Mary R. King's Mary/Sherlock series, I was unaware of this historical fiction mystery series. That will be a mistake that is quickly corrected.
I love how Ms. King is able to take the reader right back to the period of time with an authenticity accomplished through a clear research of the period, including real people of the time. Furthermore, her character development allows readers to "get into the heads" of the characters. She is masterful in accomplishing this in this book.
No matter the period that Ms. King writes in, her books are intelligent, fun and witty!
