I Have this thing about series. Is it my need for instant gratification? Fear of commitment? Low attention span?
So I hadn't read any of the other books, and had no idea who Tess Monaghan was. She was a joy to discover. Courageous, determined, yet lost and afraid of a destiny she could not control. That made this a mystery unlike any other, and for that, I am grateful. I'm also glad I didn't know this was a series before I bought it. i would have missed out on a gem.
