This is one of those books you just can't seem to put down for long, although I had in fact given up on it in the first chapter and, after thumbing through it later on, decided to give it one more shot. By the third chapter, I was hooked by the mystery and the characters involved in it. The ending left me scratching my head though. That's probably why I'm ordering book two of the series in hopes of some better answers and to see if the two main characters end up together.

Wonderful! A beautiful, atmospheric book... character-driven, not so much plot-driven, which makes it even more wonderful. This book is fairly short, so it will make a quick and engrossing read.

Very intriguing, 19th-century American mystery. Leaves one wondering even after it is finished.
