Starts off a bit slow, but increases the stakes halfway through. I read the last 200 pages in one sitting. A really enjoyable read, and one I would happily recommend.

Atmospheric, tense historical fiction about an infamous miscarriage of justice and its nefarious cover up.

Interesting book about a time period that I didn't know that much about.

I just finished reading this book. It was quite interesting and entertaining. The author was very skilled he could get one easily transported into the narrative. Also he kept the story interesting and suspenseful and I didn't feel bored at all while reading it. My only negative comment is that some parts were glossed over. I guess he had to "zoom out" because this story takes place over a relatively long period of history time. Nevertheless the effect was jarring and temporarily the magical effect of flow in reading and transportation into the story was broken. All in all this was a very good book and I will be reading more books from Robert Harris.
