This was a fantastic and engrossing historical fiction book filled with mystery and intrigue which I was completely lost in for two days
I loved everything about this. The writing and the plot flowed nicely while the characters were interesting and realistic. The plot was intriguing and mysterious which makes you want to turn the page
The second book I’ve read from this author and given 5 ⭐️

Thanks to NetGalley and the author for the arc

A lot of strange goings on here, with loyalties tested and secrets uncovered. On top of that, there's just the right amount of creepiness and menace surrounding that globe.
There was plenty of being kept wondering what was happening, or indeed what had happened in the past, to have me turning pages quite swiftly.
An entertaining read right the way through.
Look forward to seeing what more Kelsey brings.
