I didn’t enjoy this book as much as some of her others but it was still very enjoyable. I found the first part a bit boring with too much history and not enough story. However it did improve and the second half was more interesting and it all tied together well at the end. As usual there were some lovely characters but one took me by surprise as there was no hint of his ultimate nastiness earlier in the book.

Not her best book
