I love me an historical fiction novel, and an adventure and anything where the protagonist is a middle aged unmarried woman who still has agency and life in her. Gus and Julia are true equals with their own strengths rather than falling back on the genius and sidekick trope in many mysteries. I really enjoyed this, funny and entertaining with a mystery to be solved in the next book!
