A little bit preposterous how many historical characters end up in the story but a lot of fun none the less. I gave this a go as a standalone for bookclub but it's exciting to know there is a whole series of mysteries and escapades I can go back and read. Kind of like an Australian Poirot with more of an explicitly political bent.
