A new favorite series. Beautifully evocative settings; Interesting, complex characters and exciting mystery. The only bad thing about getting to read this book early (thanks to NetGalley for providing an ARC ebook in exchange for this review) is that I’ll have even a longer wait for the next one! Terrific book, highly recommended!

This book was a little slow to start but once Heloise gets involved in the investigation it picked right up. I love Heloise. She is selfish in a way that doesn’t hurt others and can be funny despite the very dark subject matter of these books. I thank netgalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book. I am looking forward to more in this series.
