This could have been a brilliant book but there are too many gaps. The premise is intriguing and her characters are interesting and true to the time period. But she spent to much time describing the mundane. Her portrayal of the America's Cup yacht races was very interesting as were Tess' s thoughts and divided loyalties. Then there were large gaps in the story and a rush to finish with no real stopping place. Spoiler:  What happened after the gunshot ?  What is the purpose,the story just rambles around at the end and instead of coming together it unravels. Gave it a three stars because I was intrigued and invested but definitely left disappointed from middle to end. I even went back twice to see if maybe I accidentally skipped pages. Have read a number of books by this author but I will not continue this series. I hate getting involved in a good story and then left hanging. I don't mind sequels but this one left out so much in the middle that I will not waste my time. To many good books and authors who respect their readers.
