I really wanted to savor this novel. Knowing that when I finished, there were no more Justin de Quincy books, was kind of a bummer. I didn't want to rush through only to be sad at the end. You know what they say about the best laid plans......... I couldn't take this book slowly. I was hooked from...
The fourth Justin de Quincy book. Yes, I did skip the third, but it was an accident! I liked this one moderately better than the second, but I still prefer her more historical books, I think. [Nov. 2010]
