I think I enjoyed this even more than Hither, Page? I hadn't realized how fond I was of James and Leo and how much I wanted more of their story. The familiar characters and old family mystery were exactly what I was in the mood to read. It was intriguing to meet the new cast of characters and speculate on all of the unraveling family secrets, but the deepening romance between the leads was the highlight for me. I would happily take a whole series of these two solving mysteries together.

4.5

Another interesting mystery to solve (this one from two decades prior). A deepening romance between a flirty (semi-retired) spy and a kind doctor. More interesting, well-drawn side characters. What more could you want??

I loved everything about this! It was like reading a queer Agatha Christie novel and I was here for it! I loved learning more about James's family and his history. I also loved seeing more of him and Leo together and seeing how their relationship is growing! I really hope that there will be more books in this series because I need more of them and the ladies at Little Briars in my life!
