What a thrilling conclusion to the Blackfriars Lane trilogy! It was so much fun visiting Kit and Jackson again - now parents - as they learn to navigate life in their new roles. As a parent, this book tugged at my heartstrings on more than one occasion with the addition of their beautiful daughter and the danger their jobs naturally put the family into. Kit and Jackson’s relationship is still in the newlywed stage and the playful and fun banter between the two is always fun to read! This book kept all of the thrill of a new romance as Kit and Jackson are so obviously still head over heels in love!

It doesn’t take long for this book to take off as Kit naps her first case as a detective! This adventure takes her all over London, showing once again the amazing research Michelle put into the book’s setting. Some of my favorite side characters - Charles, Martha, and Frankie - appear and I just LOVED watching their story unfold! Michelle is such a masterful writer as she includes a second romance within the main romance without taking away from the main plot in the least. The storylines weaved together beautifully, adding such depth and dimension. Frankie’s addition to the story is always so fun to read and I particularly like seeing how much he has grown and developed from the first novel.

The end was so explosive - all of the action that had been brewing the entire novel comes to a head for a deliciously thrilling climax and conclusion. There were quite a few times I wished I could will myself to read faster - I just HAD to know what happened next!

This book was a beautiful conclusion to the trilogy. If you’ve not read any of these books, make sure you start with #1 so that everything makes sense. I can’t wait to see what Michelle writes next!
