My goodness this book was hard to put down! Julia is nearing her confinement and John is struggling in a job he hates, and he only took it because of lack of people responding to his advertisements for discrete investigations. His first customer approaches him with a rescue request for a young lady being held against her will at a private asylum for people with an opium addiction. Pickett’s plan to infiltrate it by having Julia admit him as a patient is unnerving to her, but trying to be supportive with his first case she allows it, only after all he assures her it would only take him 2 or 3 days…
As with each book in the series this one too can stand alone but they are so much richer when read in order. This is one of my favorite series to binge reread. The characters are very relatable, likeable and the books are so well written with mysteries that keep you guessing, that these books become “Habit-Forming” to the point that my high school age children (boys and a girl) are also addicted to the series.
The narrator does an absolutely wonderful job with the characters voices, accents and the acting is all so seamless. He really makes this a must listen to book.
