Beautifully written!

The intricate layers in this story were very appealing. Solidly structured, it was a joy to read.

A wonderfully written and amazing book, it was a joy to read.
The style of writing is great, so full of descriptions and it describes the characters to the point that they seem to be old friends.
It starts slowly but after a bit you're hooked and you cannot put it down.
I hope this is the start of a series and I look forward to reading other books by this writer.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC

This is such a wonderfully written book and so much more than just a mystery story, it’s so full of descriptions about the cast of characters, gorgeous scenery and depictions of nature it makes it a joy to read. The book starts off slowly and you gradually feel yourself being drawn into the lives lives of the people wanting to know more and more and trying to get to the heart of the mystery and this makes it a book that is different from the norm. An engrossing book and not what I was expecting and I really loved it, I hope that we will hear more from Russell and Leduc in the the future and thank you Ann Lambert for a wonderful read and highly recommend the book.
My thanks to NetGalley and Second Story Press for the chance to read the ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

Thank you to the author, the publisher and Netgalley for the ARC.

Though I am not usually a fan of detectives mysteries, this beautifully written book was too hard to not enjoy. It was a slow spun and beautifully laid out mystery. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it a million times, there is something so ethereal about books written in a European setting. So different from my own mundane home town. Full of rich characters and wonderful descriptions, this is a fantastic book. Highly recommend.
