Customer Reviews

Even better than 'The Complaint of the Dove'

I liked the first Robert Fairfax mystery by Hannah March, so decided to read the next one. This one was more eloquent and more put-together than the first one. A fair amount of atmosphere and history and well defined characters. Historical Mystery buffs ought to give this one a try, specially if you like Boris Akunin, Candace Robb, Kate Ross, T.F. Banks or even Ashley Gardner and Marion Chesney, you will most certainly like Ms. March.

Well-written historical mystery!

This book is a delightful and interesting window into Georgian England, via an intricately constructed, solid murder mystery. I look forward to reading more books by this author!

Wonderful atmospheric book

I really enjoy books by authors who have the talent to make you feel as if you are actually living the book. While the main part of this book is a mystery, you can also "see, hear, and smell" the English villages in this book, set in 1761. If you enjoy English mysteries, definitely buy this book! It's the first book I found by Hannah March and now I will definitely be buying her other books. Highly recommended!
