Evan is assigned to the murder of a professor through an open window. Meanwhile an Arab family moves into Llanfair, and they have problems of their own. The final book in the series features great twists and the usual charming characters.

While I love the author's two current series, I keep hoping she will find time to revisit Evan and company.

Barant nearly lost me in the beginning, because this volume is so very different from earlier ones in the series. It got better, though, and as it did I didn't want to put the book down. However, I have to say that the cliffhanger ending ticked me off. The next volume will have to be really, incredibly good to make up for the cheap trick.

Wait a minute - according to Barant's blog, this is almost certainly the last book in the series. GAH!

OHG this series... dark, sick and twisted and yet so good. This has been by far the hardest in the series to read for me so far.. without sharing spoilers, my heart broke over and over again until I simply couldn't take any more (and then grabbed the next book of course!?). You know those books where your heart races, your blood boils and you find yourself shaking uncontrollably as you have a panic attack while reading....well, this is THAT book!?

MoMo Book Diary recommends ‘Murder in the Morning’ which is the second of the Melissa Craig cozy mystery series by Betty Rowland.

Having enjoyed the first Melissa Craig instalment I was eager to get into the follow up.  I found this instalment, which begins where the previous book concluded, to be more entertaining than the first.  However, this could be due to reading them both in order and in the same week – I would definitely suggest reading them in order and together as I did.

Whilst the book focuses on a new crime the characters involved were developed in the first instalment and I assume will continue through the ongoing series.

This series will be enjoyed by those who enjoy Midsomer Murders, Agatha Raisin and Father Brown type of mystery!

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the opportunity to read and review this book.

My favorite Assassin
I love the world Sarah creates! Fae, witches, demons, a prince, assassins, and magic! Throne of Glass is the start to this amazing series and it takes a little to get into it because there is so much you need to know about her past and all the characters and the world. The series gets better with each book you read.

Excellent series that refreshes tee genre
Not going to dwell on the story about conglomerate super heroes and the source of justice for one of them killing the leads girlfriend in an accident. All I can say is its amazing, adult and isn't afraid to be graphic. Utterly excellent and honours the comic book series.
