This week I've re-read the complete Adrien English Mystery Series.
And now I love it even more than before, if that is even possible. Apparently, it is.
This is definitely and absolutely my all-time favourite m/m mystery series. Well, first loves and all that. Will be remembered and held in fond memory forever - or so they say.
All the mysteries are really well-developed und gripping. I love both MCs - Adrien who blocks any (remotely emotional) threat that comes his way with a wall of sarkasm and ...more

The mystery is a fifty year old one taking away any urgency. This book is more Adrien accepting his increased life expectancy and sorting out his men, with all his exs making an appearance and bid for his attention, must be his aftershave or something!
There's historical depth to the forced hiding who you are theme. Seeing Adrien and Jake work together again reminds us how well they fit, when not fighting demons.
I'm still torn on the matter of Jake, I want them to work out in the fictional arena ...more

LOVED this series!
First read: 2/2/12
Second Read: 10/23/13
Reread: 1/6/16
Another reread: 12/24/16
As I finish this series yet again, I want more yet again. I would love some novellas from Jake's POV especially his first time meeting Adrien or what's going through his head during book 4 and 5! Heck, I would reread the whole series from his POV just to see what he could possibly be thinking for some of the scenes. I want a follow up story, the codas are a tease, I want more!!! ...more

This is my first goodreads review write-up, and I normally wouldn't even bother to write one but this series prompted me to do so. I've never in my life blitzed through a story so much as the last 2 in this series, to find out what happened with Adrien and Jake (so this review kind of pertains to the whole series, which is a definite 5 stars for me).
