This is 3 stars for me, but amy harmon 3 stars which is still pretty good. The characters, well, if you read the author's note she took great care in making them historically accurate while also giving them the resolution an author may decide fits.

So the characters were good. Well crafted, and real for their time. Dani was good, a little too obsessed with putting things to right, but sure of herself and who she was. Malone was... More pessimistic than he should, and self sabotaging. Their love story was slow burn/insta love combined... Hard to explain, but i stand by it.

The mystery was a little slow for me, not too thrilling, although the character of eliot was very layered. The rest of the side characters felt a bit one note.

The resolution was good, hopeful, satisfying.

Overall? Not my favorite Amy Harmon, but then the bar is set very high there. 3 stars for me.
