Hagar by Barbara Hambly

catevari's review

4.0

Novelette in the Benjamin January series; takes place parallel to Good Man Friday; it's a murder mystery starring Rose (and Hannibal, and most surprisingly, Ben's mom Livia). One of the things I love about this series is the recurring background players and how over time, they become as familiar as actual neighbors. The story is enjoyable on its own merits but I especially loved how this gave us a little more time with and a little more insight to Livia, who has always been rather opaque as seen through the eyes of her son.
