My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Sixth in the series, and I've enjoyed them all.
One of the great pleasures of reading this book and series (in common with the Enola Holmes books) is having a genuine conflict with stakes that give the story interest without raising the temperature so high I have to put it down. That's how this whole series has ended up on my bedstand; it's a pleasure to read around bedtime, when I will enjoy adventure but not agonizing dread.
Well plotted and paced, as always, and internally consistent.
Aimed at younger readers; recommended for just about anyone interested in historical mystery.
