Title: The Secret of Bow Lane
Author: Jennifer Ashley
Series: Kat Holloway Mystery #6
A great read!
I would like to thank Jennifer Ashley, Berkley, and NetGalley for allowing me to read a free ARC in exchange for an honest review. Also thanks to Yazmine Hassan for inviting me on the blog tour.
(Take that, Berkley! Can’t deny my request if I’m invited, huh? *blows raspberry*)
When her late husband’s wife asks for Kat’s help, Kat’s reluctant. But she’s also curious. What if Joe really hid a fortune somewhere? What she could do with a little extra coin . . . One inquiry leads to another, her friends volunteer their help, and soon Kat finds herself neck-deep in the cold case of a high-profile robbery over a decade old—and drawing the attention of the wrong people. She isn’t sure she wants to know the truths she’s discovering, but they won’t remain hidden any longer.
I love this series more with each new installment. When I got the invitation for the tour, I was DELIGHTED. Slurped up the ARC in one day. Yum, yum, yum! Not only was this an intriguing mystery with a solid plot and steady pace, it offered heaps of character development, and so much back story for Kat and Daniel. Finally! We saw all our favorite people, and met a new one—I loved Mr. Grimes. Oh, and Mr. Miller. What a sweetie.
I really don’t have much to say about it. I noted a funny is all— “She waved cheerily at me, which would have been more reassuring if she hadn’t been holding my best knife.” And I thoroughly respect Ashley’s research into London culture in 1882, especially what they ate.
Overall, I had a great time reading Bow Lane and couldn’t find much wrong with it. I’m eagerly anticipating the next book, which will hopefully see Daniel freed and more of his past revealed.
