Wow! I must admit the size of this book was quite intimidating, and I was concerned it might be a long and difficult read. Oh how was I wrong! This book sucked me in straight away, the two main characters Ms Swift and Mr Harrier took us on a journey in the civil war in the 17th century. It is quite graphic at points which make the story feel all the more real and powerful- including a public hanging at the beginning of the story. I read this book in less than a week and didn't want to go to work as I wanted to keep reading! This story is written so well by Minette Walters. It also was written in way that wasn't overwhelming in terms of the civil war and the royalists and paliamentarians. It felt so relevant and real. I love the cover page, it is gorgeous. This is the first book I have read from this author but I will definitely will be buying others from this author to read.
