Another fun and creative story in the Lamplight Murder Mysteries series. I really do enjoy these stories which are an innovative blend of mystery, fantasy and horror – one of the only times I will go out of my way to read a book with horror elements! The author does a fantastic job of building tension and I really did not see the twists coming. 

This instalment is a bit different to the previous two, and I must admit that I didn’t love it quite as much. The author acknowledges that the setting for this book is quite different – we are in the wider Lamplight world rather than the self-contained spaces of the previous two books (Spindle Manor and a train). While I appreciate the world building this provides, personally I am more of a fan of these smaller settings. 

Evie also takes a more prominent role in this book – with the reasoning for this becoming clear as the storyline develops. It was really nice to see this and to get more of her character, and I’ll be interested to see how future books deal with the fact we now very clearly have two main characters rather than main character and side kick, and it’s felt in the first two. 

Overall, another great book in the series even if not my favourite.
