My rating: 5*Genre I reckon: Cosy Mystery Aided By Ghosts
Buy link: Amazon
This is book 3 in the Lucas Rathbone Mysteries (book 1 review can be found here)
The series gives Poirot meets Ghost Whisperer vibes. You have glorious 1920s London and a quaint village. With a whole lot happening.
I was really pleased to discover more about Tommy in this book. He's definitely a character with layers. A little bit ooh, a little bit whey! Only, in this book he's landed himself slap bang in the middle of trouble. Again. And so, his loyal friend, Clara has to dive in to try to help, along with her grumpy puppy fiancé, Lucas Rathbone.
Lucas has ghosts who can talk to him. Fair ole talk his ear off, to be fair. Gives a chap a nasty headache.
There's definitely more to Tommy's tragic past than previously realised.
And I must say I'm warming to the guy.
A well-written, thrilling, dangerous and intriguing tale!
One I heartily recommend.
A great way to start my 2025 reading.
Always in love and light,
