I liked the suspense and the mystery that kept the pages turning, but at times it was a little obvious and sometimes obnoxious how often the author was withholding information from the reader. Also, the romance was completely unbelievable, and I would have preferred that it hadn't been there at all. A man who has a tendency to forget about his woman, even when she's been kidnapped and possibly tortured, has no understanding of romance or love at all.
Not unenjoyable, but not amazing either. It's a decent enough mystery, and both the premise and historical grounding are interesting enough, but that's about it really. It's all a bit predictable and anticlimactic. You don't really get attached to any if the characters. And why it's named "The Hangman's Daughter" when she's just a weak supporting character at best is a bit beyond me. Meh. Holiday time filler.
Starts out super dark but turns into an intriguing mystery. I enjoyed this book.
