There is a lot happening in this book but it all comes together in the end. I enjoyed this read and will look up others in the series.

I read at least 3 books a week. This one the best I have read this month. I read it in 2 days. This author will rise to the top of historical fiction. The Characters are real & the suspense last till the end.
