Words cannot express the love I have for this book! There was mystery, suspense, history, adventure - all of it wrapped into a cozy 300 pages! I couldn’t help but feel the Aqua Tofana vibes here! Honestly that’s ones of my favorite historical true crime stories and this book seemed to take that story and run with it! When the past meets the present and Aqua Tofana is in the mix - SIGN ME UP. I love the way the author took this story from a relatively sad beginning and ended on an upswing. I’m a sucker for a HEA and while we don’t know the true ending, everything is looking up!
