I found this book tedious, the characterizations superficial, and the prose uninspired. Though I’m an avid fan of historical fiction and of mysteries I don’t think I’ll be venturing into any more of Harris’s work. I think she’s a better historian than writer.

I’m very disappointed because I finished and know I’ll w wait another year for her next. I love thé research she does as well as writing exciting stories.

Who Cries for the Lost is another great read by C. S. Harris. Ms Harris has an absolutely wonderful way of weaving mystery, murder, friendship, romance, family, war, intrigue, characters and history into a book that is so good and so interesting that it feels as if the reader is a part of the story. Sebastian and Hero have become loving trusting partners who work seamlessly solving crimes, parenting their children and caring about each other. I love Sebastian, wow, brilliant, just brilliant. The way he is able to put all the pieces together is quite spectacular. Still wish more descriptive intimate scenes between Sebastian and Hero. Looking forward to the next book.
