Reviews

[Hannah · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another excellent Marchmont adventure. This one is set in Hungary of a century ago and more, with affairs of state and dukes and kidnapping and forbidden love. A fast-paced story from start to finish, as Christabel seeks to outwit those who would keep the stain of murder on her father's name.
