I started this book twice, and got a bit further the second time (about 50%) but really I just couldn’t see the point of it and frankly didn’t care what happened to Dr. Dee nor Robert Dudley. I love Rickman’s Merrily Watkins’ mysteries, but this series is just not doing it for me.

I preferred the first book (Bones of Avalon), but this was still very good. A bit slow for me at the start, but it was an interesting read and I'll be keeping it in my collection.

I was hoping the writing would improve with the second book in this series, but it didn't. Grammar mistakes, grammar and storyline inconsistencies, as well as misspellings made this novel not as enjoyable as it could have been.
The story of the trip to the Welsh borderlands, the little village his father was born and the ensuing mystery was interesting, yet only the final few chapters were really gripping. Eventually I was glad when I reached the last page.
Would not have finished had this not been part of my Litsy-A-to-Z challenge.
