This book series is everything I can’t wait for the next book. Theses plot twists are everything and the fact we still don’t know many things about our main detective and her family life.
I’m gonna assume that her mother’s death was a murder and that she wasn’t able to solve it plus with the painting and the paint brush kit I want to know what the true crime billionaire guy’s obsession with crime and their murder’s
 

Again I can’t wait for the next book!!!!

This is basically a comfort series for me. The characters are everything and the red herrings always keep me guessing.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 6%.
Lost interest while reading. Probably not into true crime that talks about murders anymore.

A nice read if you want a quick gothic read but I get there plot kept dragging on about oh how mysterious that the night of the seventh moon and Loki was about in the land. But you get what you payed for granted this was a library read but I still enjoyed it even if it was a bit cheesy.

Great series honestly. This scratches the itch for a fun historical mystery series especially after finishing miss fisher’s murder mysteries. Parker and Pentecost deserve their own radio show/podcast honestly. I don’t know if a show or movie can do the book series justice.

Just as great as book one. This series I can read in one day since I get so invested into Will and her journey being a detective and the crimes she solves.
