"Great book. Kind of hard to keep all characters straight as there were two Cassandra's, 2 Edwards. Luckily author put cast of characters in front of book. With this book, I look forward to reading more about Jane Austen-- what a complex person."
-- Mary Beth B.

“This book definitely lived up to the hype. It was a little slow in the beginning and getting used to all the Swedish names and places took awhile. But once I got in to it I was hooked and didn’t want to put it down. It has a classic who-dun-it feel. Highly recommended."
-- Emily K.

“Another great and exciting adventure with FBI agents Savich and Sherlock. Also brought him some new agents to read about. Very good—couldn’t put down until finished.”
