I have been eagerly waiting for this next title in the Libby series, I was not disappointed in fact it more than met my expectations. Much deeper and more complex than the other Libby titles, we are treated to some real old Kentish history ranging from roundheads and cavaliers, through smuggling to the Napoleonic Wars. All the usual characters are there, although this time they seem to have become more comfortable with each other, Fran has seemed a little brittle in the past but Lesley has allowed her to mature into her role. I so wanted to make this book last but unfortunately for me I've finished it, guess I'll just have to read it again when no doubt I will find other things to enjoy now I know who dunnit. Thank you Lesley both for the return of Libby and her Loonies but also for a glimpse into the past.
