What is this book about?
Wife. Mother. Homemaker. Detective. Kit Forge wears many hats, and if that’s not enough, she’s partnered with her father to open a new detective agency. It’s hard to be all things to all people, but Kit never shies away from the impossible. Despite her hard work and good intentions, some things fall through the cracks.
Namely, her husband.
But Jackson barely notices. He’s too busy putting out his own fires. As the new chief inspector of a busy London station, he must salvage the disaster left behind by the former police chief—an obstacle made all the harder when the superintendent breathes an ultimatum down his neck.
Against her father’s advice, Kit takes on a case involving a missing child, one in which she and Jackson become a little too emotionally involved. . .and end up endangering their own little girl in the process.
Can Kit and Jackson learn that just because they can say yes doesn’t mean they should?
My review:
A good conclusion to the series. There’s romance, mystery, suspense, and even exploration of the struggles that parents face balancing home and work. I enjoyed the mystery most with secondary characters taking center stage. Plus I was treated to a second romance. Kit’s journey to find her path as a new mom tugged at my heartstrings.
What I enjoyed most about this book:
The mystery particularly with odd secondary characters
What I didn’t like about this book:
Finding other characters more compelling than Jackson and Kit
Would I recommend this book to others? Yes. Romance, mystery, suspense, interesting characters, and good theme. This is the third book in the series. I recommend reading the series in order for better story continuity.
