This book has the things I love about historical mysteries: a strong sense of setting, a complex, likable hero who is relevant while also suitable to his era, and a satisfying plot. In addition the author has included a few snippets of real historical figured. Another enjoyable Sebastian St Cut mystery.

With Sebastian and Hero existing in parallel, crossing paths sometimes, but not collaborating all the time, this story was frustrating at times. However, the mystery was interesting, the relationship development is satisfying at the end, and I’m left thankful that I already have the next installment on hand.

The mysteries continue to be good but the relationship between Sebastian and Hero continues to be so meh it really affects my enjoyment. It just doesn’t feel right and neither does Kat and Sebastian moving on from each other. I know this isn’t a romance but it could be a little more romantic☹️

The mystery in this one wasn't the strongest in the series but by now I'm so invested in these characters that it hardly matters. Sebastian is, as always, intriguing and charismatic. Hero is a perfect foil for him and if their marriage of convenience isn't a love match yet, I think this book gives hope that their grudging admiration and respect for each other is growing into something warmer. All in all, another very good entry in this historical mystery series.
