I read cozy and historical mysteries, a bit of Paranormal/UF, and to mix it up, I read science and gardening books on occasion.
The Ninth Daughter was a very well written historical mystery. The plot was very well thought out and well executed.
For me, however, it lost a star due to the violence against animals, something I never want to read about, no matter how much it adds to a story. I'd recommend this book to anyone who likes true and accurate historical novels.
