A lesson in love and murder

I wasn't expecting this story to be so timely with rioters in the streets, yelling for socialism and blowing things up. It definitely lent an air of reality to the story despite the historical setting.

It's been a long while since I read the first Jem and Merinda story but it felt like meeting old friends all over again. This sprightly mystery definitely had me continuing to hit the “play” on the audiobook every moment I could to see what would happen next and to solve the interesting mystery.
