I don't think I'd have read this if it hadn't been for my local public library's very limited Overdrive e-book holdings. I decided I wanted to read a mystery, and this was one of the few mysteries immediately available for checkout that looked interesting to me. On to the story. At the age of 12, M...

4 stars! What a fun book! One of the best historical novels I've read in a long time. Great mystery, and a lovely, slow, steady romance that both kept me on my toes.

However I feel like I should have enjoyed it more. I’m not sure why? Maybe I expected more? This is why this novel gets the 3.5 star rating fro...
