The Deepest Grave: A Medieval Noir Mystery by Jeri Westerson
4.0
I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for a review.
The Deepest Grave is a supenseful mystery set in London, 1392. I haven't read any other novels in the series before, still I had no difficulties getting to know the main character, the recurring cast and who they are to each other. Despite the gap in time, which of course comes with a very different mind-set and hbits of living, the characters came across as vivid, likeable and easy to relate to. I especially enjoyed the atmospheric setting, that certain "medieval" feel without diving into cliches of the genre. A great read, I'll definitely check out the rest of this series.
