Allison Newberry is a junior detective in the king's service. She is sent from the capital to the town of Illdara which is considered to be at the tail end of the world.  There has been a murder in the town and Allison is sent to find the killer.  The victim is Victoria Celeste, the wife of a prominent politician.  Two other murders also occur throughout this story as Allison is searching for clues.  She will have a tough go of it because the townsfolk are very suspicious of strangers and those they consider foreigners.  I don't want to give away too much of the story as it would contain spoilers.I enjoyed this quick read and really liked the setting of the story with the horse drawn carriages and cobblestone streets.  Allision was very persistent in her duties even though the townsfolk were against her and making her job difficult at times.  I thought I had the murder figured out but I was surprised at the end with the twist and I only had it partially figured out.  A good murder mystery that kept my attention throughout.Rating:  3.5 stars (I gave it 4 stars here for I Like It)I received this ebook free through LibraryThing Member Giveaways in exchange for an honest review.
