City of Jasmine by Deanna Raybourn
4.0
Having been introduced to Deanna Raybourn via her Lady Julia series, it was interesting to see her writing style imposed on a whole new set of characters. Much unlike Julia, Evangeline Starke is a strong, bold and startling woman who just happens to fall into a ridiculously interesting set of circumstances when a photo of her husband appears in the mail, her husband who died 5 years ago.
It's a journey that ends up being a love story of sorts to Damascus and brings to mind all sorts of imagery, not unlike the Mary Russell novels. I'm not sure if this will end up being a series, but it's a lovely start to one.
