Look, the way it started was nothing short of genius. The prologue 🤌🏻 Perfection.
A great, mysterious summary of events from 1566 all the way to 1950. My timbers were sufficiently shivered.

But as the story progressed, it became somewhat infuriating how the identity of the killer was apparent to the readers but not to the characters.

I would have preferred had we leaned into the historical angle for motive rather than the romantic one.

But oh well, still a good read.

3.5/5🌟🌟🌟💫
