Johanna and her mother are Innkeepers in Dover, England, during the Napoleonic Era. The two of them are fighting tooth and nail to keep their inn and keep it open. It is the source of their living.
Alex Moore is dispatched to Dover, to Johanna's Inn, specifically, to root out a traitor to the King. Because Alex has a history in Dover, though he hasn't been there in several years, he is using a different identity than that of his own.
Michelle Griep has an interesting cast of characters populating her book. Alex and Johanna are pretty interesting in their own right, one cannot overlook Mr Nutbrown--who only speaks through puppets, Mr Spurge--who owns the inn Johanna runs and is threatening to throw her into debtors prison, and one cannot forget Johanna's younger brother, Thomas who is by turn creating havoc or drumming up business for the inn.
The following opinions are fully the opinions of the owner of this blog and have not been influenced in any way by anyone else.
I got to a point where I lost interest in the story and I jumped ahead to the end of the book to see how all the loose ends get tied up. Michelle has done a great job in bringing the story together, but it just wasn't the kind of story I could get lost in. I give it three stars.
My thanks to Shiloh Run Press for allowing me to read and review this book.
