Oh this was superb! I really enjoyed the mystery that Ellis weaves in this story. It's not my usual era of history to pick up, I find it sometimes to be a bit overwrought but that isn't an issue with this book. I really enjoyed my time within the pages.

Thanks netgalley for this ARC.

It's never too late and early for us to forgive, love, and let go. I think that's what this novel tries to teach us. Plus much more besides

3.5 stars. A well written stand alone historical murder mystery from the author of the Wesley Peterson detective novels. Set just after WW1 and told through the eyes of doctors daughter, Flora, it winds it way nicely to a dramatic conclusion.

I found the present tense narration quite difficult at first but soon got into the character of Flora but was surprised at some of her actions given the time period.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a review copy.
