I have been curious about the series for a while now and I could not resist requesting the book when I saw that the latest book was available at NetGalley. And, now I''m really happy that I did.
This series takes place in the Edwardian era and women's role in the society is limited and it's interesting to get to know Dody, a female doctor. The suffragette moment is striving for equality for women and both Dody and Florence are fighting the fight in different ways. While Dody is a doctor is Florence a bit more radical and she does get in a lot of troubles in this book.
I found the case in this book really interesting, you get an insight into women's rest home, where women that are “unstable” is placed, often against their will. Dody, Matthew, and Florence must uncover the truth about a woman's death, and if there are any links to the rest home where she had escaped from.
The romance between Matthew and Dody were handled well, they have to keep their relationship a secret since marriage and working as a doctor is out of the question for Dody and although she loves Matthew she just can't give up her work for him. But that doesn't mean that she sometimes regret the decision to turn down Matthews marriage proposal.
The book was really good, a great mix of crime, romance, and social injustice.
Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!… (altro)
