“An engrossing tangled mystery and astonishing tale about a tragic search for identity. Cyr series.Psychologically atmospheric like Imogen Robertson’s Westerman and Crowther mysteries, with the skewering social wit of Anne Perry's Charlotte and Thomas Pitt novels, this is historical mystery at its best.”- Booklist (starred review) “Harris’ talent for character development, polished prose, and accurate, Regency-era details makes this eleventh or any of the previous 10 an easy starting point for newcomers to the Sebastian St. Highly recommended for lovers of historical thrillers.”-Library Journal, starred review
