Tilda Wren continues her investigative passion!

A Whisper in the Shadows (Raven & Wren #4) by Darcy Burke      

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

Hadrian Beckett, Lord Ravenhurst and Matilda Wren are once again involved in a murder inquiry with an Inspector William Maxwell. Maxwell has asked for Tilda’s assistance to enquire about a fraudulent funeral saving society, the Coleman Street Ward Amicable Society.

They go undercover as a married couple in the Coleman Street Ward, London. Hadrian decides to join them as Tilda’s brother. Maxwell agrees.

Unfortunately they find their case crossing with Inspector Chisholm’s murder case of one of the Association’s canvassers and then a director.

Dancing the line of what they can do and can’t do is a complicated business.

I found getting to the true facts acceptable but a bit of a slog.

Hadrian and Tilda’s relationship continues to be a puzzle for both of them.

The basis of the story of burial clubs and friendly societies set up in Victorian times to protect the interests of the various groups, to make sure members had a funeral and weren’t interred in a pauper’s grave fascinating.
