When I began reading this book, I immediately pictured Ann Cleeves’ detective Vera Stanhope. Although Claire is younger than Vera, their strong characters traits are similar. Although I did not read any of the other books in the series, I enjoyed reading this book. If you like British police mysteries but with a magical twist, you may enjoy reading this story.
