On est toujours sur la même formule et clairement, ça marche super bien pour moi. Les personnages sont attachants (mes préférés sont clairement le groupe de la maison de retraite : je veux un groupe de potes pareil quand je serai vieille XD), j'ai été prise dans l'histoire avec des moments de suspense où on sent que quelque chose va se passer mais quoi ?
Et bonus, on fait de grands pas en avant sur l'intrigue fil rouge ce qui est très agréable.
Un petit bémol sur la résolution de l'enquête et sur les dernières pages.... J'ai eu l'impression qu'on repartait en arrière ^^'
M'enfin, ça se lit toujours aussi bien donc je serai là pour le prochain tome.

Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and Julia Chapman for the eARC, in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.
Date With Deceit is well written and the characters are rounded and likeable, but unfortunately it wasn’t for me.
I haven’t read any of the previous books, so I had absolutely no idea what was happening. Details on the back-story are quite vague.
The names of the main characters (Samson and Delilah!) also grated on me.
It limped along slowly, and I struggled to finish it.
If it appeals to you, I would highly recommend reading the rest of the series first, as it does not work well as a standalone.
