What an interesting ride this series has been, watching Kit and Jackson grow from adversaries to allies, from friends to spouses, and now, from lovers to parents. Kit really struggles to balance using her sleuthing skills to bring about justice while still making a happy home life for her husband and their infant daughter, Bella. When dangers connected to her first case multiply, she reconsiders the cost. She has often put her life on the line, but Bella?! My adrenaline was really pumping as this talented couple put their heads and hearts together to wrap up this assignment. Strong performances from old friends Charles and Martha really sweeten this perfect tale. Can I hope Griep isn't satisfied to leave this a trilogy? Thanks to NetGalley for an early read; I was not required to post a review.

The Trilogy is complete now in this final offering of the Blackfriar's series. This story's mystery was so ADRENALINE packed I could hardly put the story down until I knew all came to end as it should. I'd like to thank Netgalley for allowing me to read this arc prior to release. The opinion expressed is entirely my own.

The Sleuth of Blackfriars Lane by Michelle Griep shows a realistic question from a mother. Current mothers today have to choose between working outside the home or staying home and raise their children. With current inflation crisis, thanks to Biden's politics, many mothers do not have a choice but to go to work. Griep does a wonderful job at showing the conflicting emotions that Kit has about this chain of questioning. Other than that, Griep does a wonderful job at crafting a moving plot filled with plenty of moments of grace, suspense, and romance. I love novels that feature the same characters. Readers come to the know the characters and enjoy spending time with them as they grow and become part of our lives. Jackson and Kit's marriage is tested as they try to deal with home life, work life, and raising a new baby. Overall, The Sleuth of Blackfriars Lane by Michelle Griep is going to be a wonderful addition to my library, and I'm really anxious to see what Griep comes up with next. She is a wonderful storyteller, and I have loved all of her stories that I have read.

I received a complimentary copy of The Sleuth of Blackfriars Lane by Michelle Griep from Barbour Publishing, but the opinions stated are all my own.

The Sleuth of Blackfrairs Lane is a fantastic story that will grab your attention from the start. Against her father's advice, Kit takes on a case involving a missing child, and it becomes more complicated than she expected and endangering those she loves.
Jackson and Kit are parents to a little girl Bella. Kit is struggling to find the balance being a wife, mother, homemaker, and detective without giving up on one or the other. Jackson has his hands full with trying to keep his job as the new chief inspector at a London station.
The plot was well written with action, danger, intrigue, interesting new characters, and Kit's tendency for sleuthing and finding herself in some interesting situations.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
