The start is quite creepy and promises an exciting historical thriller. The book somehow wasn't up to the beginning even if I enjoyed.
I was glad to catch up with Johnstone&Hitchens, as interesting as usual, and loved the well written characters, especially the women who are quite out of the norm.
I wasn't a fan of the part by different POV as they made the plot less gripping.
It's an entertaining book that can be read as a standalone.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
