This book (the 18th in the series) has many twists and turns as it explores the depths of the complex relationships of the characters within its covers. It shows that sometimes doing the wrong thing for the correct reason can bring just reward, but at a cost. This is a thoroughly engaging and satisfying read. --Historical Novels Review It's ingeniously plotted, weaving the mysterious Charlie that Vince befriends with a missing housemaid, an old lady's coffin being opened to reveal stones, and an escaped murderer that Faro's boss, the unpleasant Inspector Gosse, is determined to capture... A treat for Inspector Faro's many fans, and a good place to start if you enjoy historical crime, and haven't met him yet. --Marsali Taylor Promoting Crime Fiction
