For a book so focused around the black market trade of antiquities, I was a bit disappointed that the role of the British Empire in plundering Greece artifacts was never really raised. There was very little nuance in relation to this subject which threw me out of the book a bit. I think it would have been a more interesting read to have that kind of topic included.
I really enjoyed the side characters (Lady Latimer being a particular favourite).
Overall glad I read this. Recommended to those looking for a nicely paced, ambiguously supernatural historical mystery.
