The Hangman's Daughter

This was a good read. I read it because it's a translated German book but I found that it was right in my usual wheelhouse - historical mysteries! It felt reminiscent of British historical mysteries but also had it's differences that brought it alive. Hearing how this related to the authors ancestors and the true history behind it, definitely improved my reading experience. Love the main two guys, and despite this being named after the daughter she was not a focal character. I also found her slightly insufferable as I think she was childish, and lacked survival instincts in terms of fitting in, because back then it meant life or death. Basically book smart but no street smarts.
