Excellent

This is a well written, character driven mystery that will hold your attention from start to finish.

The plot is unique, clever, and fully realized.
This is a story filled with interesting characters and nice historical/folklore elements.

I love when an author is able to fully transport the reader to the places featured-it’s hard to find that lately in the mystery genre.

I really enjoyed this one.

The narration is exceptional.

Definitely worth a credit.
