The Spanish Diplomat's Secret

The historical aspect is well done, the plot is interesting and the pacing is good but the writing is choppy which prevented me from actually getting into the story. I found the characters rather flat and I feel no desire to read the other books in the series.

Thank you to whatever nice publisher it was who sent me the ARC for review.

The Spanish Diplomat's Secret is the third installment in this series. I really wanted to love this one, but it took a lot for me to finish it.

I love the setting, the characters and the time period. What I didn't love was the pacing and the tediousness of Jim's investigation. He and Diana are both smart, capable people so I feel like it should not have dragged on the way it did. That alone made it hard for me to even want to finish reading this.

I sincerely appreciate the publisher and NetGalley for the review copy.
