My first Inspector Monk

Loved the mystery and the historical story of Crimean War. Did find some of the story surrounding descriptions sometimes a bit longer than the story needed

Interesting references to nursing in Scutari

I enjoyed reading this novel. I found the story of Hester and nursing in Scutari most interesting. The murder mystery kept me intrigued to the very end.

Disappointed

I love Davina Porter as a narrator she always handles the characters well. Story was tedious and for me, a bit boring

Intruding Monk and Hester

A wonderful story promising a series full of detection and drama. Set in Victorian England, depicting all aspects of society.
