Forever In Your Service by Sandra Antonelli
4.0
4 stars
A great follow-up to book one, Forever In Your Service serves up an Agatha Christie-type mystery involving a wine collecting millennial whose weekend party goes a bit awry when the bodies start to pile up. Mae is her usual acerbic, professional self and wholly capable of handling whatever comes her way. Even when it’s a ghost who turns out to be more corporeal than expected.
As I was reading this, I was once again struck by how unusual it is to come across characters like Mae and Kitt. Never mind the fact that Mae is the older of the two, she often comes across as the stronger one. Not invincible or unbelievable, just a mature woman with the life experience and the level-headedness to deal with new and unexpected situations. That Kitt is sometimes both exasperated and excited by that, just makes me love him as much as I love Mae.
The mystery got a little convoluted at the end, but I was much less interested in the details of that, than I was in how things would end up between Mae and Kitt. I have my priorities, okay? Thankfully, I was happy with the outcome and happier still there is a book three to come.
