Although I found this book wasn't my cup of tea, but I have to say the pictures Cheryl paints in her book is impressive. We are swept back into 1700 France, and learn about how people live, the law system as well as vivid descriptions of the country side and architecture. For a history lesson you can't go wrong. For me; well, it made me want to visit France and countryside, but I'm not sure I would have enjoyed life in the 1700's.

With well paced story, twists and ; a love triangle and an investigation convinced of just one culprit you will be turning pages eager to see what happens next, so watch for those late nights. Overall, if you love to get your teeth into a good mystery, or want to learn about French History this is most definetly the book for you. (
