This book has all that is needed to fill my reader heart: a good mystery filled with danger and murder, romance and an eclectic cast of characters. Michelle Cox's skill as a researcher simply oozes through her atmospheric prose, as does her obvious love of her setting, 1930's Chicago.
One of my favorite detective duos, Henrietta and Clive Howard, hope to find distraction from their personal loss and grief while investigating a couple of cases. From their visits with a spiritualist to that of an insane asylum, they suspect there may be more than meets the eye.
I love Clive's devotion to Henrietta, as this newlywed couple forges through the valley of grief so early in their marriage. Cox beautifully portrays their relationship as they seek to strengthen each other, facing danger and grief head on. I love that the character arc of Clive, Henrietta and her sister, Elsie, develop throughout the series. While this is a mystery, it is also a story of family and the different dynamics shared by each. Ms. Cox cleverly inserts a teaser of a cliffhanger that will have readers eagerly awaiting the next of Henrietta and Clove's adventures.
