This was good! It was like Midsomer Murders but make it the 1100s π
It was short but did a lot in those pages, and I liked the pairing of Barling and Stanton.
I could have done without the horse death but apart from that I really enjoyed it.
I really had no clue that this was the first novel I've actually read in over two years, and man, what a one to start reading again with.
From the very beginning you're drawn into a world that feels exactly like what I'd imagine this time period to have been like. E.M Powell has done such an amazing job with her research and descriptions and it really makes the book flow and really just feel genuine.
And I have to say, Stanton & Barling may be one of my favourite duos of all time, and the way their relationship evolves through the story is perfect.
Usually, I like to think I'm good and working mysteries out, guessing the twist before it happens. But I was so wrong with this. For the first time in a while I was involved in the story, constantly double-guessing myself and constantly being surprised with each next plot point or twist.
All in all, such an amazing book, and one that nearly brought me to tears at the end. Soooooo looking forward to the next one! Thanks E.M Powell!
