However, I wasn't so taken with the storyline, at times it dragged on and also certain aspects were a bit too much predictable (and I say this as someone who usually never sees what is coming in a mystery).
I also wasn't really drawn to the characters, I struggled to connect with them and I didn't find their emotional portrayal and development particularly incisive.
All in all, it was an interesting reading and I really appreciated the historical setting, but in terms of the story itself it fell a bit flat for me.
