So much happens here!

Cloaked in Deception (Spencer & Reid Mystery #4) by Cara Devlin   

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Detective Inspector Jasper Reid and Leonora Spencer are separately attending an annual benefit dinner for the Metropolitan and City Police Orphanage at the home of Sir Eamon Giles. Dinner has just started when masked robbers break in, steal all the valuables, and in what seems like an intentional action, shoot and kill the woman seated next to Leonora. They then take Leo as a hostage. Jasper’s blood runs cold. What will become of Leonora?

The woman whose been murdered is a Mrs Seabright. She had been one of the original charity cases. Her husband had been killed whilst on duty. Mrs Seabright’s children had been eligible to be sent to the orphanage.

The links between the dinner, the orphanage and the killing only become apparent after an arduous and complex investigation by Leo and Jasper.

Leonora’s Uncle Claude can no longer perform autopsies. The current doctor, nephew to Sir Giles, has seen Leonora’s worth and hopes to keep her working for the morgue.

Once again the novel ends on a precipice, urging us to discover what happens next in the lives of these two fascinating characters.
