For a mystery romance, I appreciate the amount of effort that went into the research for this book. It was well thought out and the research and lore were my favorite parts of the book.

I think I would have appreciated more twists and mystery to the story, more crime solving and adventure and a little less romance, since I didn't quite connect with the characters and the writing wasn't my favored style. If the reader is looking for something more light and whimsical, Hunting the Wren should hit the nail on the head.

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for providing me a free ARC.

A sweet story with beautiful writing from the author - you can truly tell that a lot of time and effort went into historical research to present the town set in medieval times. It’s a good mix of crime solving, relationships and with sprinkles of romance throughout. Highly recommended read.
