"We humans could not help loving our monsters."Creepy investigations are back, my friends! The whole murder mystery aboard the RMS Ertruria wasn't as engaging, which bums me out because the macabre investigating duo is precisely what draws me to this series. I don't tend to read the synopsis before reading a book, so the investigations in America leading to the Murder Hotel in Chicago was a delightful surprise for me.
"I long to live in a world where equal treatment is not something in need of commending."I found the overall plotting for the series, the investigations, and the travels to be incredibly well done. Having read all four books now, you can see the connections and the overall theory that Maniscalco wanted to explore with these infamous murder cases. And while I know some readers didn't enjoy the murderer in this book, I actually enjoyed it and the connections.
"The devil was a monster, but I would become his nightmare."Speaking of obstacles, we need to talk about Lord Cresswell. Thomas' father, Lord Cresswell, has been absent during the course of the series thus far. So color me surprised when he suddenly shows an interest in his son's life, or rather, his son's desire to marry someone other than a match he tried to make prior to Thomas meeting Audrey Rose. Surprise! Thomas' betrothed shows up to their wedding last minute, brandishing a letter with Thomas' signature promising betrothal.
