Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book. This is book 3 in the trilogy, and you MUST read book one, Dead In The Garden, and book two, Dead In The Pond, before you read this one. They are NOT stand alone books and need to be read in order! With Bishan in the hospital, Valor has to dig deep within himself to keep it together. When there is another murder, the police finally decide that they need to draw the murderer out. And Valor finds himself not only fighting for Bish, but for his life. I have LOVED these three books, I really have! But I think you would get a better enjoyment if you read them back to back, not with several other books between each one, like I did! Just my personal opinion, though! Again, only Valor has his say and I did miss Bishan and his off-on-tangents thing, so it would have been nice if they both had their say here, but it doesn't affect my rating , I'm just bloody greedy and always want more! As always, with Ms Donovan's work, lots of giggles among the drama and murders and lots of lovely ways that show that Bishan and Valor really are perfect for each other. Some surprises too, with that murder being front and centre, but some budding romances within the supporting cast! The way it all went down with the murderer was a fitting end, and one I didn't see coming, so that's always good, being kept on your toes! I shall miss these guys, along with all their friends and family, I really shall! A very fitting . . . . 5 stars! **same worded review will appear elsewhere**
