A good read. 3 stars feels like a solid rating for this one. I am still enjoying the sense of time and place and the mystery was pretty good, kept me guessing up until the end. If I wasn't reading this for a series group read, I might take longer to get to the next one but I'll be picking that one up next month. Maisie is an interesting character so I'm looking forward to her next case. I don't always love her methods but it's not getting in the way of enjoying the story.

Another excellent installment. Winspeare does such a great job with the setting, particularly in the way she depicts the fashions and "look" of the period down to the smells and sounds. Enough personal info to keep Maisie interesting as a character.
