The main character in this book is a female spy in the era of the French Revolution, a very rare profession for a female in that era and she is a well respected one amongst her peers in the Sealed Knot (a mysterious organisation i hope is explored more in future novels). I almost couldn't believe this was a first in a series, it felt like we were joining the Attica Morgan story partway through with so many references to her past exploits, there is definite room for more into her early life, as well as any further adventures which i hope there are plenty more of.
I was a little worried when the privateer captain Jemmy turned up that we were going to fall into cliche romance territory, but Attica Morgan more than held her own and didn't let me down.
The writing style felt comfortable to me in the reading, it flowed well with nice short chapters that kept the action moving along. The research that went into the piece was evident, but it never felt that something was shoehorned in just to show how much the author knows, everything served a purpose.
