This is such a wonderful series – I’ve read and loved each one. Am so looking forward to “The Waterloo Map”. Thanks for offering such wonderful and generous giveaways. Fingers crossed.

This is one of the finest mystery series around. I love that Barron has captured the flavor of Jane’s writing without imitation. And she brings Jane and her family to life in every book! Can’t wait to read this one.

I had never heard of the author or the series. Totally fascinating. I’m already immersed in the period and I look forward to a new adventure there.
