I enjoyed this book for many reasons; it had a beautiful setting and real development from past and future, had a good reflection which challenged societies views, and made me challenge my own thoughts on justice. The murder really explored all the characters, how people interact together and how communities react. It had everything I would want in a murder book and I would read it again.

A complex and well written mystery, well researched and full of food for thought.
I loved this series and I think this is one of the most complex story.
It's well written and I think that Ms Upson is a talented storyteller and does an excellent job in describing life between the wars and the implications for those who didn't match all the standards.
The mystery part is solid and keeps you guessing, the cast of characters is well thought and interesting.
An excellent and engrossing read, strongly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.
