I am obsessed with this series. The books are incredibly cozy and fun, while also being mysterious and suspenseful. It's a perfect blend and I adore it. This book is just as good as the first one, if not better!

Thank you Sally Smith, Bloomsbury, and NetGalley for the ARC!

I absolutely adore this new series by Sally Smith! The first book was charming, but I couldn't put this one down.

I instantly liked the main character, Gabriel Ward, an introverted barrister. I also love they dynamic between him and Inspector Wright, his sort of Watson. They are not two dimensional characters who remain static however. The lovely thing about Gabriel Ward is that he has been very isolated, and now he is being drawn into the world. Readers see the impact it has on him.

I was drawn to the books because of the setting. I had no idea what the Inner Temple was, but London at the turn of the century peaked my interest. It is the kind of book where readers feel like they have stepped into another place, and it is hard to put it down to return to the real world.

They mysteries are also well crafted!

I'm really excited to introduce this series to mystery fans! I think it has wide appeal and will be a hit with many mystery readers!
