The Devil in Music by Kate Ross

4.0

Really loved it, the first and last book were the best in the series. I love books about the English Regency but I've been wanting to read something set in Italy around the same period. This is just perfect in that regard, painting a picture of Piedmont and Lombardy circa 1825. Julian Kestrel is his usual smartass self, and the mystery is transparent (especially Orfeo's identity) but still entertaining. In the last chapters there is an account of Julian's backstory, which made me sad because it felt as if the author knew it'd be her last book and she wanted to cram as much information as she could in those few pages. I'm going to miss those characters.
