Anna Lee Huber delivers another excellent Verity Kent mystery. Well researched and vivid setting, solid plot full of surprises.
It was great to catch up with the characters and i loved the plot
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

Verity Kent and her husband are still in Ireland, still looking for the stole gas, and the political situation is getting dire. Verity finds herself in a tricky situation as a British subject who sympathizes with the Irish cause.
While the ongoing mystery of locating the gas before Ardmore can use it continuing, there is also a thief on the loose that Verity is asked to help catch.
The explanation of the situation in Ireland gets to be bit more serious than what I want out of a cozy mystery series book at times and the cliff hanger ending is not what I expected. The beginning of the novel dragged but the action picked up in the second half.

Verity and Sidney remain in Dublin despite being called back to England from her mission. Putting themselves at risk as they remain true to Great Britain but feel for the Irish. A wonderful story that shows there are always two sides to any war.

Huber continues to do an excellent job of portraying the Irish War of Independence and what a fraught place it would have been in 1920, all while balancing nuanced character development for former British Intelligence agent Verity Kent as she reassesses her loyalties and an intriguing mystery involving a string of jewel thefts. The ending had me on the edge of my seat, and the one-page teaser for the next book, picking up moments after the ending of this one, only made me even more fiendish to find out what happens next. I do not know how I’m going to survive a whole year before reading the rest!

A Moments Shadow, by Anna Lee Huber is the latest in the Verity Kent, post WWI series. This book is edge of your seat suspenseful. It is so we'll researched that I am learning about a piece of history that is not well known, the Irish troubles after the war in Europe had ended. The relationship between Verity and her husband Sidney is explored a bit more, while never losing sight that Verity is the hero of this story.
Im looking forward to the next Verity Kent book with bated breath!
Thank you to Net Galley for the ARC.

Thanks for the advanced copy of the book!! I love this series and each book is so so good! They manage to still build on each other while still each being a complete story on their own! The Mystery is well written and the over arching plot continues to grow! Can’t wait for the next book!
