I hate to say it, I hope I don't sound ridiculous, I don't know who Audrey Rose is. She could be walking down the street and i wouldn't know a thing. Sorry to this women.

I still like her but this is mess Thomas Cresswell deserved more then two lines per chapter.

Out the 3 in this series that I’ve read, this is the only one I didn’t finish in a few days. I will agree with a lot of the other reviews, and say that the love triangle was unnecessary, and I really missed Thomas in this one, but overall, I enjoyed the last half of the book. I accidentally spoiled myself for who the murderer was, so I’ll give myself a 1.5/3 for figuring out whodunnit in this series, as I think I would’ve deduced it with some of the clues given.

This was definitely much longer than the first 2 books and for the first 200 pages the story dragged on a bit, but afterward it became a whirlwind of heightening tension; whether that be due to the rampaging murderer, Mephistopheles' constant flirting, Thomas' growing insecurities about their relationship or Audrey Rose embracing slight of hand and contemplating two diverging futures. So I can definitely say that whilst at the beginning I was making it through the story simply due to faith, I was soon plunged into a world at sea that again, I did not wish to end. I most certainly cannot wait for the grand finale to come.
