This series is one of my guilty pleasures. Historical fiction focusing on unusual characters in unusual location, detective story at the center of every book in a series - give me more! My mind can’t help spotting all sorts of issues: somewhat predictable plot, characters are often modern people placed in the past, story develops too slowly. But I love main characters, and that what counts after all.
