I enjoyed this story as it's well written and I loved the details of the historical background as the author did an excellent job in developing a realistic, vivid, and well researched setting.
The mystery is solid, full of twists and kept me guessing. I liked the solution and how Martha and Luke interact during the investigation.
I think it's becoming an excellent series and there's a lot of potential for developments and new exciting mysteries.
My only note is about Martha and Luke relationship as sometimes takes the scene and it's a bit repetitive. I think that some developments in any direction (love, friendship, etc) would help and make the next story more exciting.
I read this story in one setting and thoroughly enjoyed it.
I recommend it, it can be read as a stand alone but better read the books in order.
Many thanks to Boldwood Books, Rachel's Random Resources, and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

I was so looking forward to meeting Martha and Luke again, and this book was as much fun as the first one: a fast-paced, entertaining cozy mystery.
I laughed out loud at the female prime minister comment, and loved Martha's observations about the gender issues (why is always the girl to blame?!).
Dear author, please do something with Stan because I cannot bear to see these two suffering. Thank you.
