I've read all of the Anna Pigeon books in order. This is Nevada Barr's latest in this series. Unlike the others, this story dealt with a far darker plot. The story started out from the POV of the secondary characters. I initially found the characters weak and not particularly compelling and the first many chapters switched POV and threads so much it was hard to follow. Nearly put the book down at that point. In fact the story didn't get off the ground until well after page 100! But, knowing the excellent storytelling ability of Ms. Barr, I continued reading. And then it got good. All the disparate threads came together and wow! The other female character morphed into memorable. Good read. Couldn't put it down.
