It was good. But the begining was slowm it picked pace after like 70 pages. I liked FMC's characters. Mystery was inteiguing but predictable . But as I do not expect HUGE plot twists from mystery novels so that was okay.
My main issue was that at the end, the writer wrapped prince's plotline witout giving anything as to what happened to him. Like... We know what happened to him irl, from authors note, but i wanted a proper conclusion in story too. Apart from that, Madam Mun had a motive hence she was a suspect but in my opinion, it was kind of childish and not strong enough (like she was jealous of prince and wanted the King for himself. But... I think it would have made more sense if she had a son or anything and wanted throne for him. Or wanted to have a son.) but since this book is based on real life events, maybe thats why writer didnt want to introduce smth like this. Anyways, overall i liked this book. Much better than silence of bones and other mystery books i have read
