I have kept thinking about this book since I read it and the more time has passed the angrier I get at it. It has good writing and an interesting plot, but the thing that stayed with me was the misogyny that is present throughout the book, important to the plot and basically proven to be correct in the end and practiced by all the "reasonable" characters(as well as some questionable ones). I absolutely loved the Daugther of Time and now this book has made me never want to read another Josephine Tey book again.
