There is a tread of regret from Mrs Watson that is threaded throughout the storyline. Looking back not with fondness but looking back at her foolishness.

I have read all books but skipped the last one. I tried several times but just could not get into it. This book takes place 3 years later. A slight recap and setting the scene for this mystery.

I really liked the first book in this series and have looked forward to reading this one. It was due out earlier in the year and was postponed.
Following the trail looking for clues.

Some great cover art on my last few books.

Listening to the audio and enjoying the reader. I don't know why but my reading this summer has been very secondary to everything else. Nothing has really grabbed me and would not let me put it down.

Listening to the book on audio from Hoopla. Kirsten Potter is doing a brilliant job. The book deals with hard subject matter like child prostitution, betrayal and war. The 4 book I have read in the series. Enjoying it very much (even though it has a dual timeline).

I am already skipping chapters. I really wanted to love it. Most have. BUT it feels preachy. Not in the mood

McMahon does an excellent job with the voices

Good writing but not what I want right now. So I am going to DNF it

Listening to Chapter 6 and am still enchanted by Kobna Holdbrook-Smith narrating. I have read others say this is one of the best of the series so far and I am in agreement with that.

Nicely done. Good twist.

Enjoyable book. Just got the back story about Eleanor. It was in keeping with the book rather "expected".

Listening to the audio version that I own. Reader is very good. Laying out the backgrounds.

Different style of writing than I am used to. Just finished part 2. Reminds me of an older style of writing.

I enjoyed part 1, Part 2 not grabbing me.

Lots of characters

Few clues that I can tell but more victums.

Very enjoyable writing. BUT it has the one thing I hate and that is time line jumping.

Only on Chapter 3. I enjoy the male reader. He did the last book also. Davina Porter is still my favorite.

Early in the story. But I have enjoyed the other books enough that I bought this one.

What a fun book. So far really enjoying it. PLUS I have ridden bus 14 when we were in London last year. My one claim to fame.

I am listening to the audible when running errands. If you are following % of the book it looks like I am a shut in lol. It is good but not grabbing me and never letting go kind of good.

I know better than to do it....find a book that I am enjoying but have another library book with a shorter due date. It has been harder getting back into the spirit. Bad Merry don't do this!

I don't see me finishing this book. Some very funny or sweet parts at the start. It has drifted.

Just read about how the author couldn't get the gate to the parking garage up using her pd for ticket. It reminded me of the time I was on a toll road in a MAJOR city and went through the cash lane accidentally with the gate down. People honking and me not having a clue what to do. Some kind (but exasperated soul) walked up and threw in the 3 quarters. Bless him wherever he is or I would still be there 20 years later

I am not quite there yet but getting closer and closer.

I am listening to the audio and enjoying the reader a great deal. BUT the only way Hoyt could have borrowed more from the BATMAN story line is if the butlers name is Alfred.

Ok that was a surprise. Great book

I don't know if it will continue but I am enjoying this book a lot

Blackmail. Several letters to different friends. Who is sending them
