Once again we’re catapulted into murder and mayhem with Leonora Spencer and Detective Inspector Jasper Reid.

Tears for the Forsaken (Spencer & Reid Mystery #5) by Cara Devlin

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jasper is wrapping up a counterfeiting case he’s been conducting in Liverpool. In the midst of all this he and Leo have been asked to attend the reading of the will of a Mrs. Francine Stroud, at Cowper Hall, home to the Viscount Cowper—definitely not a friend.

Both are equally startled to find they’ve been left a property in Craven Hill, a stylish address, and a request to investigate the death of Francine’s son, Theodore, over twelve years ago.

It’s not long before bodies begin to pile up. One is a woman who turns out to have once been engaged to coroner Connor Quinn.

Not only that, Leo’s seperate pursuit of the death of Quinn’s ex fiancé opens up some dangerous trails.

Once more Eddie Bloom, a vicious gangster, has Leo in his sights.

Jasper and Leo quarrel, even as they move closer to each other.

The situation is turbulent.

Another exciting episode in the Spencer and Reid adventures
