A Deceitful Subtlety by M.J. Logue
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

1666. Thomazine and Major Thankful Russell are enjoying their married life at Four Ashes in the Chilterns with one son and another child on the way.
But then Mistress Aphra Behn arrives with a 'request' - her soon to be husband, merchant William Scot, failed to arrive for the wedding and wants Thankful to find him in Bruges.
Thankful soons realises that anything to do with Aphra is not straightforward, and may have brought the Russells into danger.
An enjoyable and well-written mystery with these likeable and complex characters
