Terry, I just finished reading this book. It's a good historical mystery and I enjoyed it, but I thought I'd give you a bit of unsolicited advice. There are at least 18 characters that I listed from the book. If this seems like a lot (as it did to me), you may want to consider making a list of people's names as they are introduced.
