Can’t think of anything about this book that I didn’t love. Martha Ballard is one of my favorite characters I’ve ever read - what a freaking badass. Beautifully written with atmospheric descriptions that make you feel like you’re in the scene. Loved the dialogue and banter. The love story between her and her husband was so sweet. A satisfying mystery. Super palatable representation of the late 1700s period. Just an excellent story!
