Review: Mystery tale that loses it's way.

I really enjoyed the historical setting & the central character was believable & sympathetic. Thought the story started well & had some realistic action sequences. My problem was that the plot of the murder seemed a little flimsy & I didn't quite follow some of the deduction that was taking place. I also read a review to the follow-up book which gave away the plot to this one; spoiler!!!!!Worse of all was the hurried wind-up of the tale & feeling the author had to finish this one in a rush to start some other book.Unsatisfactory for me, but ultimately enough interest there for me to read the follow-up.
