I quite enjoyed my experience with this riveting historical tale. I listened to the audiobook and I’m a strong believer that the narrator breathed much life into otherwise mundane sections of the text. I found myself occasionally becoming bored with the sheer amount of information there was to uncover. Luckily, I stuck through to the satisfying conclusion. The author has crafted this compelling and intriguing mystery that unravels gorgeously. I’m glad that I got through it but I don’t think I would read it again.
