I have always liked historical fiction and recently got introduced to this author, And have enjoyed every book I have read when I found out she had a new book coming out I know I had to read it as soon as I can get my greedy little hands on it so there is no surprise that after reading this book it went I to my friends must read pile and share it with all my co workers not only do I love the idea that this novel was inspired by true events which is why I enjoy historical fiction do much most are inspired by true events I loved this book one I love strong intelligent female protagonists I love a good historical mystery I love the way this author can write in a way you feel you are right there and I also love the cover
