A Whisper at Midnight by Darcy Burke
4.0
A clever murder mystery with too many suspects and not enough physical evidence kept our intrepid investigators on their toes.
The murder of Louis Chambers was mysterious, but not all that surprising, considering his less-than-charming personality. This gave rise to a surplus of suspects, all very plausible as the investigation gathered more evidence. The identity of the actual murderer was cleverly concealed until the end, with some surprising twists.
Tilda and Hadrian were delightful, as expected. They work together so well, trying to make better sense of Hadrian's ability and how to use it without compromising his wellbeing. The attraction between them was stronger than before, but both of them were extremely hesitant to act on it. I enjoyed their surreptitious glances and thoughts, and I do think they will make an excellent couple, but for now, they are solidly in the friendship camp.
If you like your historical fiction with murder and suspense, then this is for you. I've been enjoying this series a lot so far. This book can be read on its own, but I think it's worth reading them in order.
Thank you to the publisher for providing me with a copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
