Spies and Mystery During the Revolutionary War
It’s been six months since Rebecca Parcell lost her husband on a British prison ship, and the rumors in town that she is the one who turned him in to the British are only growing stronger. So when she gets an offer from General Washington, she is quick to listen. It seems that her husband was spying for whoever would pay him the most money, and Washington wants to know about his network, including the British spies he was going to identify. In order to help Washington, Rebecca travels to New York City with Daniel Alloway, a man she barely knows but who was on the ship with her late husband. Will they be able to find the network of spies in time to stop a plot?

This is definitely a shade darker than the cozies I typically read, but it is only just a shade darker. I was delighted to find a mystery set during the Revolutionary War, and the book does a great job of bringing that time period to life. The plot starts out well and only gets stronger as it goes. By the end, I was racing to find out what would happen next. I did find the romance between Rebecca and Daniel to be the weak point of the book, but that was minor. The characters, real and fictional, are strong, and using both Rebecca and Daniel to tell the story is a real asset. I’m glad I found this series, and I can’t wait to find out where the characters go next.

Humorous And Absolutely Wonderful
This is not for the faint of heart, this dark humor takes everything to a whole new level, I have never seen something that I've taken to so quickly and loved so much. The humor is darker than dark and hilarious all the same. If you dont take to it from the very first episode then maybe it's not the show for you and maybe we can't be friends. This show holds no boundaries or limits on the lengths they will take to make you laugh. It's absolutely beautiful and you will never find another show like it. Highly recommended to anyone who can appreciate the very real and dark humor this show has to offer.

This was a pretty good ending to the series. Though I liked the other two novels better, this one still held its own. With heavy ties to Mary Shelly's Frankenstein, this novel took on even darker and more serious elements to the series. Frankly, I didn't know that would have been possible. The characters went on developing and there were quite a few twists that I didn't see coming. After one point toward that later half of the book, however, I found myself not wanting to pay as much attention. I felt like it had already been through all of the stuff it was going through and got a bit repetitive. I liked the book, overall, though and would highly recommend this series to anyone who likes a good horror novel!

Wow, am I glad this this is a complete series. The ending is a cliffhanger so I have already downloaded the final book but thought I would quickly review before reading it.

The story really continues to grow in this book with both Elder and Pim being honest about their lives and feelings.

There are some emotional scenes in this book and one in particular made me cry, this is very rare, I am not a crier.

I still can not recommend this series enough, once you get past the darker content, mainly book one, then it is truly amazing. I love the way both characters are so really with faults and problems and stuff to deal with, however they try to see past that to each other.

Another great holiday read

Another great holiday read, this ones even more darker...
I love how this one jumps from present and 1997 a case Roy once worked on but never got solved! The killer is back again..
we also get a personal insight into Roy and Sandy ‘s relationship, I was always under the impression their relationship was perfect but this series shows another side to sandy.

This book is noticeably longer than the other 5 before it, which gives it chance to go in-depth with the past and present, with it making you guess who done it with quite a few suspects.

And last the endings sort of on a cliffhanger with ‘yac’ When will he make and appearance next...

And now onto the next one
