3 stars. The plot just drops you into the hunting party at Lord Fortescue’s estate; no rehash of the last book etc so I was lost as to who these people were and why Lord Fortescue was such an ass. Then once it got started it was a decent book. The mystery was confusing and tied up with spies and royalty and lovers from the past. The story bogged down in the Vienna coffee house world of art and dragged on and on. The ending and wrapping up the murder was a bit of a let down. Will keep reading the series.
