I dropped in mid-series to read this book, because the title intrigued me. I found it easy to catch up, and took an immediate liking to Lady Emily. Overall it was very atmospheric and fascinating, and a great mystery for fans of both Barbera Peters and Agatha Christie!
I will say though–I did call the solution to the murder. ;) It was very well done and all the pieces fit together, so it was satisfying anyway!
I also loved the historic storyline. That was the really twisty plot, I think, and it was so interesting to guess how it would contribute to the more modern one!
