A Suspicion of Silver (Sir Robert Carey Series Book 9)A Suspicion of Silver by P.F. Chisholm
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is one of those series which I believe it is best to read all the previous books. It seems there are too many story lines from the previous books so I found it difficult to engage with the characters and the story, and to rate it, as I have only ever read Book one and that was many years ago. Though I do remember enjoying reading the book.

Although the second in the series it can easily be read as a standalone book.

The writing style was so easy to read as the story moved along. I loved the story, the new characters but most of all the characters of the General and Mary.
Though I would have liked the story to continue more into their lives, and not jumped into the future with the epilogue which was unnecessary.
Loved the story again.
