A waste of time

The book tried to cover too many aspects, unfortunately the author is no Tolstoy and hence it all seemed jumbled up. The approach to solve the mystery was very naive, and readers would solve the mystery long before the protagonist reaches the same conclusion. In the epilogue the author mentioned that she decided to incorporate mystery in a historical fiction because her husband enjoys reading detective books. That was enough to understand why the end product was so sub-standard.
