Reviews

[Peter · Rating 4 out of 5]

Mysterious Mrs Ina McKee is visiting a location of battle between the North and the South. Why is she doing this and what pleasures she gets from it? What about Felix, her valet. Another uncanny story of the author that seems to be part of a bigger tale. But the standalone works. Really recommended!
