Review: The Juliet Code

The Juliet Code The Juliet Code by Pepper D. Basham
My rating: 💛💛💛💛

Freddie and Grace are one of the most loved fictional couples. Their love for each other and tendency to get into trouble always causes some fun stories.

This third installment was just as fun and filled with mystery as the first two books. I loved how Grace always pushes Freddie out of his comfort zone. In this third book, Freddie starts to just accept the adventurous side of Grace and how to embrace it.

Missing paintings, murders and a possible treasure added to an adventurous read. I loved the additional characters we met, especially the open ending which might suggest that Jack might also have a HEA in the future (if we are lucky enough for another book).
