Thank you @NetGalley for the free ARC. I didn’t have any expectations going into this story but was quickly drawn in by the plot. Taking place in 1850 England, the author does a great job at setting the scene and really creating an immersive atmosphere, describing two murders simultaneously. This one was easy to follow and very mysterious. There’s a heartwarming relationship that slowly blossoms and I can’t wait to dive more into that in the next installment. I didn’t have it all figured out from the beginning but once they put the pieces together, I almost want to re-read the story from the beginning. 4/5⭐️
