This is the first book I have read by this author. The main characters in this novel are Lydia Pelton and Abraham Hall. Even though some serious things happen in this story, there are some funny parts with the main female character and her quick wit. I really enjoy figuring out puzzles and mysteries so that was one reason I found this book to be intriguing. The main mystery plot in this book was pretty original which also drew me into the story. I will say that the author did an excellent job of making this one hard mystery to solve. The book was not too gory for me even though there was murder in it which I appreciated. I am not a big fan of gore and the author did a great job of describing things without making it more detailed than it really needed to be to get the point across. Overall, I would say this was a great read and I would definitely recommend it.
I received a complimentary copy from the publisher. The opinions in this review are my own.
