Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The plot is nicely involved but never overly complex. Beautifully written, nicely researched. Author creates an atmosphere that keeps the reader riveted.

The story switches between the countryside of sussex, a besieged london and the american battlefields. Good read for fans of english life in the 1700's.

Instruments of darkness is the debut novel of imogen robertson. Set at a time when the american revolutionary war was at its height and had escalated to a global conflict. There are three sequels to instruments.



Cons

The writing is surprisingly poor for a published book. It is also filled with the bad guys are immediately revealed by their bad breath and physical deformity. I buy a lot of books for my kindle and i have never felt like i wanted my money returned.

The multiple stories and murders come cohesively together in the end with the unlikely persistent sleuths still alive and proven friends


No matter the quality of the plot or characters sloppy english detracts from the story


The sine qua non of the crowther and westerman books
