Even though this took a while to get going I enjoyed it very much. The plot was very well developed and the conclusion was very good. The author did use a form of "confession" to reveal the finer details of events - a plot method I don't particularly enjoy. He also used more modern English. Early 18th century America didn't say "hello." And the concept of infections was not as portrayed. I do prefer his previous book
Speaks the Nightbird. Rated B [4 stars].
Next is
Ratcatcher by James McGee another historical mystery this one set in Regency London.
