This is my favorite of this series. I have read it a few times and always come back to it. I love the pictures in the book series better than the original books.

Excellent story, pulls you in right from the beginning. Story is about the orphan children from England (were called Home Children) London was over-whelmed with orphans and sent them to Canada, Australia and parts of Africa. All were based on actual cases and was a very moving story.

My favorite fish are the Clown Fish and Barracuda fish.

Appreciated getting a few days advance copy of this book- -With the pandemic, that wasn’t much, though! Somehow I can’t give this a 5- loved the characters, the story, the setting, the economy of words that is perfect Nora Roberts-The Latina maid and the privileged characters , the man that comes to kill her is described-doesn’t need to be- I think the times have made me hyper sensitive! I enjoy her books when there is a touch more suspense. She continues to be one of my favorite authors, and I will never forget meeting her in person, at a grocery store visit, of all places!

We LOVE Billie B Brown...Perfect for quick family read alouds, or assisted beginner reads. We like guessing what the 'B' stands for in each book. In this one, we were proud of Billie for making the right decision to protect Jack's feelings & make a new friend in the process!

Micky Haller is defending a woman who's house is under foreclosure when she is suddenly charged with murder. The murdered victim is a bank employee who is in charge of foreclosures. Mickey struggles to defend her because he believes that she might actually be innocent.

Loved this book! It has humor, anxiety and surprises. I even went back and re-read it because it was so enjoyable. The characters fleshed out nicely and would grab you by the heart. I would recommend it to everyone.

A dystopian future where children are ceremoniously killed in the yearly games. Heroine Katniss is a smart, strong girl and the role model I always wanted growing up. This is a must read!

4 stars for a solid addition to this excellent historical mystery series. It is set in London, January, 1814. Alexi Sauvage has introduced Hero Devlin to a 8 months pregnant wife of a recently impressed cooper. Her husband was snatched of the street by a Royal Navy press gang. She is desperate need of food and coal. Hero and her friend Alexi assist her in the successful birth of her child. They are returning to Hero's carriage when they stumble upon the body of a woman. Hero recognizes her as Jane Ambrose, piano teacher to Princess Charlotte, the Regent's daughter. She sends word to her husband, Sebastian St Cyr, Viscount Devlin. Sauvage has told Hero that the body was moved after death, due to the lack of blood from the wound. Devlin decides to investigate what was either a murder or manslaughter. However, the Palace does not want this classed as a murder, because it would embarrass the Royal family. The authorities announce that she died as a result of a fall, hitting her head. Devlin angers some powerful people by investigating and is attacked. He does solve the murder. There are many suspects with twists and turns in the plot. I was not sure of who the killer was until near the end. I like that the author incorporates the use of terms in use in 1814 London: Footpad=robber cutpurse=thief Description of Hero's clothes: "Unable to use her carriage in the snow-filled streets and scorning sedan chairs, she pulled on demi-broquins of fine morocco lined with fur, wrapped herself in a fur trimmed pelisse with a matching Swedish hat fastened up on one side, and walked." The author discusses the plight of the poor, compared with the rich and the inequities of limited suffrage, and limitations placed upon talented women in Regency Britain. I recommend that you read this series in order, as there are developments in Devlin's personal life throughout the series. See my review of book 1 What Angels Fear: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... I read this library book in 3 days.

This book was nothing like I was expecting, but a great surprise read. It was dark and twisted, and I couldn't wait to see what happened next.
