Brilliant book
How the writer thinks of all the twists and turns amazes me. Great mystery plots each time. A few reviews not happy with this book, but I disagree. I was very happy with the ending. Of course there has to be a couple of loose ends to keep us reading, romance wise I felt finally satisfied. Big sigh of thank goodness at the end. Another aspect of these books is the celebration of craftsmanship, as a potter myself this is what drew me to the title originally. Any old trades where things are made by hand gets me really enthused. I love any book that helps remind us/ fan the flame of crafting. Well done! I will be very skint now, as I think I will have to keep buying the next book!
