Norwich Map Runners #3
Blood in the Maps
Not yet published
Expected 10 Nov 26Eliza Barnaby never meant to start a revolution.
Bish is a detective, a map-runner, and a woman who would rather be left alone with her spaniel than hailed as anybody’s saviour. Unfortunately, after the battle that nearly broke Norwich, people are starting to look at her as if she knows what comes next.
She doesn’t. But she has an idea to pull the city back together and it involves new walls and a football stadium.
Then map-runners begin to disappear.
The trail leads Bish into the old fear Norwich has never quite buried: witch trials, stolen children, and magic that was never meant to belong to the practitioners. Worse still, William Cade knows more than he’s saying.
To save her people, Bish will have to stop dodging the one thing everyone else can already see.
Norwich doesn’t need her to investigate this time.
It needs her to fight.

Review of advance copy received from Author
I started reading this the moment it arrived (actually it was a bit before, because I was a lucky, lucky beta reader back in June 😉). I was sucked in from the moment I started and stayed there all the way to the end. I was for the most part on the edge of my seat.
I laughed, I cried, I raged, I adored Willoughby's identity crisis. And now, we finally know who Cade really is - not who I expected tbh. I loved the little easter eggs - Monty Python and The Princess Bride were my favourites.
The plot was, as always fantastic, the pace was spot on and the characters! I love them all, even Miss Lydia 😜
This is not a standalone, so if you haven't read the first 2 books in the series, what are you waiting for? Your life will be better for it.

This is the most engaging of the series so far, and that's not a slur on the previous books.
The power of the crowd, fighting against the genuinely unjust, all play a part in this being the most engaging instalment to date.
The fights, unexpected changes and disappearances kept me page turning.
Is there a cliffhanger? Well, answering that would be a spoiler, so you'll have to read it for yourself to find out.

What a blast! After the cliffhanger at the end of the second book this was an absolute rollercoaster in all the best ways!
The book was launched on Kickstarter before the official publication date and I was lucky enough to be able to read it as soon as it came out
