There is no let-up to the creativity and action that Spencer-Fleming uses to draw us in! Such an intriguing introduction really hooks my hunger for more Russ and Claire, and the title does its usual tease as to how it frames the story, emphasized with the dramatic colours of the cover. I am starving for this book, but I realize that even after finally getting to read it--I will yet be in this predicament again, waiting for the next book!
