This was something like I have never read before. This era that is so often romanticised + murder? Just the right combination. I definitely mourned the loss of Lovey because I really liked her, but it was because I loved her character that I was so invested in the outcome of the trial, and the twists and plot reveals that went along with it. I almost wish there was a sequel just to read another book with these characters. I would definitely recommend.
