it was ok
bookshelves: historical-fiction, mystery

This one was a disappointment to me. I had really enjoyed the first book in this series, in part because of the suspense created by the unknown beast that was running about in the woods killing people, but this one lacked that. It was very dull and a struggle to get through. Not much really happens in it although there are a few slight twists and a few riddles too.

And as for the killer, well, I had guessed early on the sex of the killer although not the exact person. I had thought it was very obvious.

As for the story itself, it's about a power hungry family that is stealing land and animals from the middle class. And torturing the poor slaves. Then these men arrive in town to solve the murder and stop the thieving. By the end came near I was so bored I really didn't care what was going on!

I would advise you skip this one.
