I didn't realise this was part of a series when I starting reading it but luckily, you can read it as a standalone book and it all makes sense. I enjoyed the story, lots of twists that kept it interesting. There are quite a few sub-plots so at times it's a bit tricky to remember which characters are involved in which one. I understand what the other reviewers mean when they say there is a lot of travelling and renting rooms - but I guess in the period the book is set, it did take days/weeks to travel to different places, but at times it does slow down the book. Overall, a decent read.
