Happy Publication Day!

A woman’s body is found on the Highgate Cemetery, and the only person who could have seen the killer dies in a traffic accident. Gemma Tate doesn’t believe in coincidences and is determined to find out what exactly happened to her brother. Luckily she finds an ally in the brooding Inspector Sebastian Bell.

I enjoyed the intricately crafted mystery and the way all the pieces of the puzzle came together in the end. There was just the right amount of clues and some red herrings to keep things interesting. The dynamic between Gemma and Sebastian was great too and I hope that their relationship develops in the future installments of the series.

I would recommend this book to readers who enjoy well written historical mysteries in a dark setting of Victorian London, where crimes remain unsolved, women are always at a disadvantage and The Great Stink is taking its toll.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
