Rezensionen
"All three of these "team W" writers create engaging characters and complex relationships while setting a tone that matches the story's time period...The twist at the center of the story is worth the price of admission on its own. A great choice for anyone looking for clever historical fiction with plenty of drama, action, and surprises in every chapter." Library Journal
