This was a fun historical mystery with some great characters. I really felt for Baek-Hyeon and I loved her interactions with Eojin. There's murder and court politics and lots of sneaking around and a fun romance plot line. The mystery here is inspired by real historical figures with some completely fictional elements (and interestingly I actually recently got a copy of Memoirs of Lady Hyegyong who is a character here - not knowing that would relate to this). I wish it was a bit longer or went just a little more in depth - it's pretty short - but it was a fun, quick read.
