The Sleuth of Blackfriars Lane

5 stars, Impetuous Sleuth THE SLEUTH OF BLACKFRIARS LAND (BLACKFRIARS LANE BOOK 3) by Michelle Griep Kit Forge has started a new detective agency with her father. It is also helpful to their business, that Kit's husband Jackson is a chief inspector in London. When you start a business, you must have guidelines for what kinds of things you will or will not do. Kit finds that distinction muddied, rather than clear as her first case comes up. Kit strikes me as impetuous, but she wants to help people. Martha is my favorite character. She is always busy. This is the third and final book in the Blackfriars Lane series. Each is a standalone and can be read in any order, but you would enjoy it more, if you did read them in order. I've enjoyed them.

Heart-pounding action and heartwarming romance abound in this third adventure for Kit and Jackson! I adored seeing Jackson progress as a loving and protective husband and father, and seeing Kit be a spunky detective who grows wiser as a mother and wife is a wonderful character arc for her in this series. Seeing Kit strike a balance in her life that didn’t compromise one dream at the expense of another was extremely satisfying. Seeing two other series characters find love was another wonderful addition to this romantic tale! The entire cast of side characters was so well constructed, multidimensional, interesting, and throughly entertaining! Best of all, the mystery and action was SO compelling! There were so many twists and turns that kept me guessing (and audibly gasping!) until the sweet happy ending! It was a hard won happily ever after for Jackson and Kit, and the very best conclusion to a wonderful series. I received a copy of this book for review purposes, but my opinion is my own. I really did ADORE it!

We were introduced to Kit Turner and Jackson Forge in The Thief of Blackfriars Lane, and we've watched their relationship evolve from a thief being pursued by a rookie constable, to a respectable wife married to the chief inspector. Kit and Jackson have an adorable baby and they're determined to make London a haven for their family, but it doesn't look like it's going to be easy! Author Michelle Griep shares another story set in London during the late 1880s and we're gifted with more of her amazing imagination. There's an intriguing mystery, the ever-evolving relationship between Kit and Jackson, and a work partnership involving Kit and her father. Kit and Jackson's love continues to deepen, and her life should be filled with joy, but Kit is plagued by a concern that's familiar to many women. Should she continue to hunt criminals or choose to be a full-time wife and mother? If you enjoy exciting romantic suspense that's laced with humor and faith, grab a copy of The Sleuth of Blackfriars Lane. Some think that this is the end but I'm hoping for more Victorian mysteries with this super-couple. I highly recommend this satisfying addition to the Kit and Jackson saga!
