Enjoying this series more as it goes on. I wish there was a longer blacklist! 
We need more disabled queer crime series!!

Great series honestly. This scratches the itch for a fun historical mystery series especially after finishing miss fisher’s murder mysteries. Parker and Pentecost deserve their own radio show/podcast honestly. I don’t know if a show or movie can do the book series justice.

ریویوی واقعیم بهش ۴.۵ ستاره‌است به دو دلیل:
۱- واترهاوس رو به عنوان همون آکادمیک مردد بیشتر دوست داشتم تا femme fatale :(
۲- اگر کاراکتری توی کتاب بودم طرف واترهاوس رو میگرفتم راستش.
The author fails to sell her as a bad person, let alone a villain.
ولی خب به جز این دو نکته واقعا دوستش داشتم. خیلی cosy ئه کل مجموعه.
Also, I wish I was half as cool as Lillian Pentecost :*)
