Fantastic as they all are!
The entire series is slow reading. You want to make sure you read every word so that you don’t miss anything! But with so many twists and turns you will be enthralled. It took me a while to finish but I’m ready for the next book!

I CAN’T BELIEVE IT. I finally finished this book. It was definitely not an engaging read. I started this almost two years ago and struggled to finish it. I have been reading the books in this series for several years, nonstop. I think it’s definitely time for either a long break or to just be done altogether.

As gripping as the rest of the series. So many surprises and twists.
A lot of lingering questions were resolved in this book--what really happened between Ian and his wife; the house fire newspaper clipping explained, the missing French gold mystery solved, the entire plot with the Christie family. A whole book could have been written about the Christie family and their history alone.
I also enjoyed learning about all the new medical issues that presented in this book: syphilis, encephalitis, dwarfism, heart defects, and more. I enjoyed the plot lines involving all different kinds of relationships from interracial, cross-cultural, and the most surprising of all, bigamy.
The end of the book was very satisfying because a lot of loose ends and lingering plot lines were explained. However, the end and the epilougues leave us wanting more, ready to read the next story.
