t was a fresh and very enjoyable read. The only thing I'd have liked a little more in the way of explanations and the shift from one case to the next was a bit too sudden for me. But I definitely recommend it!
Amd mot just for its masterful secret-filled plot. What really got me were the characters, so vibrantly alive and complex like real people are.

So much more than a crime novel, it made me understand the second half of 17th century England like never before. And it's a fascinating history, full of intrigue and subterfuge that had me hooked from page 1. So much that I easily forgive the use of Faulkner's Sound and Fury technique in the narrative style.
