This book consisted of three stories set in the past, each with a different set of characters. The story set in the Victorian Britain was my favourite. I had read about captain Lacey before and enjoyed it. I did not so much enjoy the story set in Ancient Rome about the retired gladiator. I liked the idea and the character, but somehow the story did not hold my interest. The final story about a cook in a Victorian home was also enjoyable. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

I'm normally sceptical of authors who write historical mysteries in more than one period but Gardner does an excellent job in her Roman, Regency, and Late Victorian settings. ( )
