There's a lot of potential in this book and it's the best one in this series as it's more gripping and fast paced.
It was a light and entertaining read that that made me smile and try to guess the culprit.
I was glad to meet again the very large cast of characters, both human and pets, and Cassie is growing on me as she shows her softer side.
These mysteries are also a good way to learn something new on the historical side.
The author did a lot of research and the historical background is well structured and vivid.
The mystery is complex and full of twists. I couldn't guess them and the end came as a surprise.
One note: even if I enjoyed this story I think that there's too many characters and sometimes I found hard to keep track of who-is-who.
Even if this is the second in a series it can be read as a stand alone.
I look forward to reading the next instalment, recommended.
Many thanks to Bookouture and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
