This was a really great read. At the start you’re kind of just thrown straight into the story. It takes a little while to get used to the narrative style, figure out where you are and when you are!

But, I really loved this. It’s a complex crime, it was brilliantly woven and carefully revealed. You do get given a fair few of the pieces to put this together - I even figured out a few of the final twists!

Miss Hortense really does feel like a classic detective - Sherlock Holmes meets any Agatha Christie main character. I saw some comments saying she wasn’t likeable, but I loved her.

I wasn’t enjoying it for the first like 15%, but once it got going I loved it. I’m so intrigued as to where this series will go next.
