5.0

Got as a Library book. LOVED this book. Such a great story line. Loved seeing Hero, Devlin, Simon and Patrick. Always wondering what Jarvis is up to -- but loved that Devlin got the better of him at least once in this book. Hated to read what happened at Cabrera -- who could have possibly thought that would be a great idea? So sad and sorry for those people and their families. Great new characters - interesting interactions. The author does such a great job of making you feel for the characters positive and negative - Gibson and Alexi; Phoebe and Amelia; The Reverend Palmer; Eloisa, the Dutchess, even Cousin Victoria. The book is standalone, but I'd recommend going back and starting at the beginning -- you'll miss so much. Definitely recommend.

Set in 1815 London, when the body of Major Miles Sedgewick is pulled out of the river, Sebastian St. Cyr is compelled to solve the crime.
The mystery is set against the war with France. Harris includes a terrible incident that actually happened.
