I found it quite slow to start but liked the ending. I'm not a particularly big fan of historical fiction, so take my review with a grain of salt. I would prefer if this book were more plot-driven because it felt repetitive, but I also think that it was the author's intention for Baxter's activities to seem mundane. Definitely well-written and researched.
