I'd forgotten my love/hate relationship with this one. I still love Bess (mostly, more below) as well as most of the book.

It should be noted that I won this in a Goodreads giveaway.I am going to keep this short as I don't have much of a reaction to this book. Overall, I was disappointed with this book.

An enjoyable mystery well-anchored in the historical period. Works very well as a stand-alone, though it is the third in a series. I won a free copy in a GoodReads First Reads giveaway.
