The Blood Royal by Barbara Cleverly

4.0

Oh, I liked this one a lot! Particularly the relationship between Joe and Deputy Constable Lily Wentworth. He's an excellent mentor, but I can't help finding very amusing his difficulty in dealing with a policewoman :P 

The plot is exciting and I liked the way in which the political scenario plays such a big part in the story and the detailed way in which the situation of the Russian immigrants and the killings of the Romanov family are entwined into the story.

There is a lot happening, there are several threads belonging to different cases and not all of them belong to the same tapestry; it's all very well done, managing to keep the suspense and the intrigue until the end.

Really liked it.
