My favorite Barbara Holloway novel yet. It was well written, a good story, and compelling characters. I hope the trend continues with book 7.

This is one of the best Barbara Holloway books that I have read so far. The first chapter started out very slow for me, but it picked up fairly quickly after that.

Well-written and plotted and I do like a bit of courtroom action.

Perception and its influence on instant judgment of character form the theme here. While the story build is great for the recurring characters, I did not buy the who that dunit.

Spoiler

The abused wife finally kills the zealot husband, fair enough, but I do not see her spending her entire life protecting her kids from her husband just to kill herself and leave them orphans.

I would have liked to buy it, it was a neat ending, but it was awfully contrived.
