I loved it. Sebastian St. Cyr was a most interesting character who was nicely drawn as nobler than he would admit but with enough chinks in his armor to let you know that he's far from a perfect human being. His love interest, Kat Boleyn, was an interesting woman in her own right; a prostitute with a rather mysterious past who he would have married at one time. His father had his own secrets, and while understanding his motives makes him understandable as a character, I couldn't approve of everything he did. A wonderful mystery, with perhaps one too many remarkable escapes, but interesting through the final chapter. I'd give it 4 out of 5 stars. I feel compelled to warn the faint-hearted, though, that the villain of the book seems to be a character straight out of Criminal Minds; a rather nasty sort who rapes and kills women — not necessarily in that order.
