Simple period mystery. Not sure if it's historically accurate; not a lot of details given for the late 1800s. I did like the story, it was somewhat predictable, but I often need that kind of a story.
my ratings:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: Loved it. Couldn't put it down. I will probably read it again and it has a place in my library.
⭐⭐⭐⭐: Enjoyed it. Good characters, great story. if nonfiction, great information, interesting topic.
⭐⭐⭐: Liked it. Glad I read it, but probably won't read again.
⭐⭐: okay, I won't read it again, it will not be kept for my library.
Same as the rest of the series. Predictable, but still a decent read. The story isn’t a “can’t put it down” and you will probably figure out the villain yourself.
