The cover of HIDDEN CARGO has the aesthetic of a classic novel, which I like. I really love reading historical fiction so I was excited to read the sample First Impression. I'm not sure that I love the writing style and feel like I need to get more into the book to decide on that. I do like the premise and am interested in what I've read of the plot so far. As always, I love that maps are included. I would definitely like to read the rest of the book to find out what happens. This is one that I'd probably take a chance on purchasing even though I feel on the fence about the writing just because historical fiction books usually end up being enjoyable for me.
