3.5 stars but I definitely am continuing with this series. Also, you do not need to read the first book (can be read as a standalone).
The setting is beautifully evoked, the main characters are intriguing if a little stereotyped at times, and the food - makes me very hungry. Many of the main characters are good folk and it is enjoyable to spend time with them. The mystery itself, to these 2021 eyes/ears not so great complicated or shocking (maybe it was at the time of publishing) and I don't care - end the end I wasn't there for the mystery.
