A good read that built on the stories from 1635: Music and Murder but can also be enjoyed as a standalone.

Has a lot more religious focus/influence than most of the series, I'm assuming that's David Carrico's influence. Reads a bit "messagey" in places, but so much so as to be off-putting.

Characters are well developed, multiple plots are skillfully woven together both within this book and tied into the larger series. The final reveal and the explanation behind it seemed a bit forced, but not so much as to detract from the rest of the book.
