Even more luckily, unbeknownst to the rest of the family, he has a loving partner who's also a spy, determined to keep James safe, and VERY good at ferreting out deeply-buried secrets. Luckily, James Sommers is one of those gathered relatives, he truly loved the cousin who went missing, and he's determined to do the right thing. Now it has to be resolved within about 48 hours if anyone's going to claim a big inheritance - but there are still people determined to leave that mystery unsolved. I loved the first book in this story (where the series couple first met - Hither, Page), but I loved this one even more, and I loved watching their romance develop in the sweetest, most natural and compelling and yet wonderfully stress-free way.Ĭat Sebastian writes really wonderful characters, always, and this time it was all set at a dramatic houseparty where an estranged family has been gathered together for the first time in decades for the reading of a will - and the mystery of one missing family member has been echoing through that big, Gothic house for twenty-seven years. It was just the BEST cozy Agatha-Christie-style mystery (with additional romance), and the best cozy wintertime read. I finished this book feeling like a warm glow was emanating from my chest and filling my whole body. I still have to figure out the details.🤣🤣 P.S-I am going to haunt Cat Sebastian forever if I have to wait another 3 years for the release of the 3rd book, How? I don't know. Highly recommended to everyone who loves their MM romances with a heavy dose of mystery. But I enjoyed it more since I reread the 1st book in December when I had nothing else to do but wait.😂😂 This one can definitely be read as a standalone. And, I would love to read more of them if the authors decide to write a few new ones in this series or the Tommy Cabot Was Here series.
Leo was such a sweetheart that he has reserved a place in my 'best book boyfriend list'.Īlthough the The Ruin of a Rake is my fav book by the author, I am enjoying her books set after 1900 more than those set before it.
The mystery is pretty well done and I adored the relationship development between the couple. Did I say, they are back after 3 years?🤭🤭🤭 Forget it, but they are back, this time with a kinda locked-room mystery at a gothic mansion where they have to solve a cold case in 48 hours. So, It's 1948 and Leo Page and James Sommers are in Cornwell.
Well!!! I certainly approve of the tagline and I actually enjoyed it so much that I am almost tempted to forgive Cat Sebastian for nearly 3 years of wait for this book and a hoax-release date in Dec. 4.5 🌟 "The tagline on the book says cozy mystery like Agatha Cristie but make it gay".
