Audio performance - by Alison Larkin
4 stars

“I fancied myself capable of adapting to most situations, but the morgue isn’t the type of place a girl wants to adapt to.”

Well, no, possibly not.

But, who else would Major Ramsey call when a body turns up in the Thames with an unusual locked bracelet on her wrist? Elli McDonnel is in the thick of things again. London is sandbagged in preparation for the inevitable bombing and in addition to the waterlogged body, someone is taking lots of pictures of strategic locations.

This book had its share of danger and suspense, but there was also a good helping or wry humor. Major Ramsey is beginning to fully appreciate Electra’s abilities.

”He nodded, his expression thawing ever so slightly. “It seems that our partnership has been more successful than I thought it might be from the start. I wouldn’t have known where to get someone who could blow a vault at such short notice.”


Booknblues | 12097 comments Well, at least this series doesn't have that many books. You need to be careful and not get hooked on one that has over 20 books. I've done that twice.

A nice series which you might like, that you can take in small bites, just one at a time is The Lady Hardcastle series. The first is A Quiet Life in the Country

Jgrace | 3947 comments I love having a series with over 20 books! What I hate is not having the next one immediately available to read. I think I will be sad when I finally do read the last book in this series.

That Lady Hardcastle book is on the TBR.

I have the same problem and with Susanna Gregory's Matthew Bartholomew series, I not only had to have them, I had to read them one after another like potato chips. The first one is A Plague on Both Your Houses. Hopefully I don't find another like that this year, it puts a damper on all my other reading.
