Publisher's Summary

December, 1889.

There have been many bad days in Edinburgh police's secret subdivision 'The Commission for the Elucidation of Unsolved Cases Presumably Related to the Odd and Ghostly'.

But today is surely the worst.

Because the exiled English Inspector Ian Frey, and his Scottish boss 'Nine-Nails' McGray are summoned to a meeting in the middle of the night with the Prime Minister himself.

And he tells them that Queen Victoria - the most powerful person in the world - wants them both dead.

To be pardoned they must embark on a mission so dangerous that they might be saving Her Majesty the job of executing them. Because this case ties together the dark history of the Pendle witches, with the tragic case of McGray own sister, to a conspiracy within the highest office in the land...

great

They really do just keep getting better and better. What a great installment. I was not sure about it when I read the blurb and saw that it had to do with the events of book 2 (not my favorite), but no,it was great. Excellent resolution to the Queen Victoria and the witches plot.
De Muriel is an excellent plotter. The way plots abd elements connect from book to book is just
*muah!* And such satisfying, natural character development.
I'm just going to say it. I haven't "shipped" since The X-Files, but I'm totally shipping Ardglass and Frey. Usually I hate romance in my mysteries, but the potential one here is so organic (and refreshingly slow moving) that I am ok with it.
And that ending!
Yeah, that was pretty great. I wait in anticipation for the next book. Please let there be a next book...
