I love a good historical mystery, and this book does NOT disappoint for that genre. This is the 6th book in the Nicolas Le Floch series which is set in France just years prior to the French Revolution.

Police Commisoner Nicolas Le Floch must solve the murder of Master Baker, Jacques Murot who is found dead in his kneading trough. This book is steeped in historical facts and is set in a really complex time in French history. The murder mystery keeps the story moving along, while enlightening the reader to some elements of French history they may have been unaware of.

I haven't read any of the other books in this series, and didn't feel like I was at a loss with the characters or backstory while reading this book.

Thanks to NetGalley, and Gallic Books for providing an e-Arc of this book in exchange for an honest review.
