Thirty-seventh challenge of the year.
I think I've read all of this author's work. It's been a decade or so I think, and as I started this one, it occurred to me that maybe I've outgrown this type of book. It was good, but had a slightly insipid start. I kept reading.
The characters were likeable, and it definitely finished stronger than it started. And the author's notes at the end were excellent, discussing how she found a resource book that brought inspiration, and explained some of the history of the Royal Messenger service, couriers of important documents for the monarch.
In case you are not sure what a "sprayed edge" is (I had no idea), it's when the edges of the book are decorated. This photo doesn't give much of an image of the edge, but hopefully will give you some idea. I believe only the first run (or some limited number) actually had the edges decorated.
