qofdnz's review against another edition
2.0
The story itself was interesting, delving into the life of early settlers in NZ. However the writing was not great. The language used often felt not quite right, awkward and confusing. The ebook had a few too many typos for my liking as well. Amateur fiction would be my best description.

A wonderful educational and entertaining mystery with some romance on the side. Wonderfully drawn characters and a well thought out and delivered crime and resolution.

1869 Sergeant Frank Hardy is asked to investigate the disappearance of two young men.
A lot about New Zealand's history (3 stars for that) but very little mystery

An historical mystery with A LOT of history about New Zealand. Very informative, not as entertaining as it could have been, a little like a series of historical snippets threaded together with a thin story
