A pretty easy read to get through, definitely a recommendation for those who enjoy true crime and have an interest in Jewish history. And also if you're into Sherlock Holmes.
It wasn't the deepest book and there were a few elements, especially quotes from some of the family letters, that I didn't find necessary to the plot, but it was very well researched. The epilogue was honestly so depressing though. It's not that hard to know what's going to happen if you know anything about Jewish history but it was still a sour note to end on.
