3.0

Song of the Damned is the third in the Phineas Fox series. Fox was introduced in Death Note, the first book in the series, which was then followed by Chord of Evil.

This is my first foray in the Phineas Fox series. I have, however, read a few of Sarah Rayne's Haunted House books. The books I have read I thoroughly enjoyed. She does a sensational job of melding the mysteries of the past and present day without completely confounding the reader. Typically, the secrets are reviled along with some great supernatural heebie jeebies. Both series follow the jumping timeline to solve whatever mystery is placed in front of the reader. Little bits and pieces are carefully doled out in such a way that the reader feels they are solving the mystery alongside the MC. Song of the Damned is no exception.

What a wonderful dark and enjoyable read! The book is entertaining, atmospheric at part, and enthralling.
I loved the dual timeline as well as the characters.
The plot was full of twist and turns, never a boring moment, and kept me hooked till the last page.
I look forward to reading other books by this writer.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to Severn House and Netgalley for this ARC
