Tense, exciting, compulsive!
Great descriptions, strong characters, sometimes confusing storyline but that certainly kept me hooked.
I loved the two main characters and the way they bounced off each other. So sad the author was unable to write further books around them.
For me, they were a winning combination.
Some excellent red herrings.
Always a pleasure to read books reflecting the period in which they were written, con juring up incidents and lifestyles once so familiar.
The author had a talent that I have been delighted to discover.
