The Sleuth of Blackfriars Lane by Michelle GriepMy rating: 💛💛💛
Rating 3.5
I really liked books one and two and set out expecting to like this third book in the series as well.
However, for me, the first half of the book was really going at a slow pace. It was only after the 50% mark when the pace, action, suspenseful moments increased along with my enjoyment of the story.
Included in this story were still the unique descriptive words the author is known for, along with all the weird quirky characters the author can come up with.
What I really loved about this book though, is how Kit grew into her new identity and had to discover how to still be her while taking on the new titles and responsibilities of being a wife and mother.

Review: The Bride of Blackfriars Lane
View all my reviews
I hear voices. Loud. Incessant. And very real. Which basically gives me two options: choke back massive
amounts of Prozac or write fiction. I chose the latter. Way cheaper. I've been writing since I discovered blank wall space and Crayolas. I seek to glorify God in all that I write...except for that graffiti phase I went through as a teenager. Oops. Did I say that out loud?

About the book:
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?

I love the title of this one, but haven't read any (or many?) books by Michelle, so I don't know if her novels would be new favorites or not. May be an author I need to pick up a book or two be. :)
