I just really like Janice Hallett.
There seems to be no time where I figure out the full mystery before she explains things and, with this one, I genuinely found myself getting anxious around the events. As a book lover, it was absolutely fascinating seeing a research process that I'm sure was similar to what Hallett did herself to write this book so it felt really meta in a great way.
I did find myself a little lost amongst the slew of characters and I do think some could have been cut out without hitting the plot too much. All in all, the mystery was fascinating and intriguing and a little anxiety-inducing and I would highly recommend this one as much as I'd recommend all of Hallett's others!
