Bombings—reality and metaphorically!

Courier of Death ( Spencer & Reid Mystery #3) by Cara Devlin  

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Oh my! Life is going from dangerous to critical for Leonora Spencer. Leonora has not seen much of Detective Inspector Jasper Reid since her shocking discovery of his past, who he really is. A metaphorical bomb thrown into her hard won equilibrium!  

In her distancing from Jasper, Leonora’s become interested in a suffragette group and is attending their meetings.

However on the morning of her visit to Scotland Yard she’s involved in a bomb attack on the Yard. Further attacks hit London.

She’s stunned when the police arrest the leader of the Women’s Equality Alliance, Mrs. Geraldine Stewart, as the culprit. When Leonora is arrested she’s angry and stunned. Jasper is furious.

Meanwhile Jasper has two bodies with similar injuries on his hands. His enquiries cut across the Bomb investigation, something Detective Inspector Tomlin of the Special Irish Branch has warned Jasper to leave alone. The Irish Branch have their suspect and he’s not to interfere. 

Of course things aren’t as simple as that and Leonora and Jasper find themselves crossing the line Jasper’s been warned away from. They also manage to garner the unwanted attention of a gang, the Angels.

On the personal level, Leonora admits to her attraction for Jasper. Something she now has to reflect on.

Fast moving action, intelligent piecing together of clues, once again brings intrigue and heart to Devlin’s wonderful duo, Spencer and Reid.
