ann granger is one of my faves and the only reason i haven’t read this already is that i’d just about forgotten i had it. so far the intertwining of the present day happenings with events of 1889 is making it an interesting read; it remains to be seen whether this is merely a device for an author to write less about her main characters whilst keeping with the series or whether it’ll elevate the series to a new level…

having finished it i don’t think either of those were the case; meredith and markby did seem fresher in this book and the plot was interesting but the major thing that this book had going for it was the close connections between the two cases taking part 110 years apart that made it seem less back and forth than may otherwise have been the case.
