While this particular book was a bit eh for me, I do like the series though I find Cleopatra a bit annoying. I found this pretty filler - nothing really happened with the main cast of characters.

I'm tired, tired, tired of Cleo's obtuse-ness in regards to her relationship with Harry. She's a bright and self-aware girl. I hate how ignorant she is in this, and if they don't get together soon I'll be done with this series. Probably.

I love this series. I love a great slow burn…but oh my goodness this is progressing too slowly!
I love the mystery aspect of the series. They’re always complicated, interesting and surprise me. The world building is top-notch and I feel transported every time I read. The family dynamic of the Mayfair Hotel is engaging, heartwarming & multifaceted. I think all the characters are interesting and I care about them.
…However…I am disappointed in the relationship progress between Harry and Cleo.
Cleo repeatedly talks about how she never wants to marry. This is understandable given the time period and her parents relationship and what was expected of wives at that time. It’s interesting to me that she doesn’t see any path forward with Harry. Doesn’t she know him well enough to understand that their relationship could be different?
It looks like there’s only one more book in this series. I’m definitely going to read it because I love the characters. I will, however, be greatly disappointed if there’s not some kind of resolution to Harry and Cleo! I understand that the romantic subplot is not the main focus of these books but it’s been dragging on for so long that it feels overwrought at this point.
