Marshall and Benedikt:
“So long as he had Marshall by his side, the two of them could face whatever was thrown their way. Together, they were already unstoppable.”
Roma and Juliette:
“Science could tell him that the ground was below his feet and the sky was above his head and the early light of day was upon his back. Roma wouldn't listen. To him, Juliette was the sun.”
I loved to read more about Marshall and Benedikt, and Juliette and Roma. Two great couples whose banter and humour never fail to amuse me.
“Don't even remind me about my traitorous back,” Marshall said. ”Twenty-three years old and I could get a cramp from breathing wrong.”
“I'm writing in everything but Russian,” he replied. “Less chance of someone stealing my notes and understanding them.”
“Yes, because I'm sure the killer will see vague remarks such as ‘is angry…’ and go on another scathing rampage.”
On a scale of enemies to lovers, Juliette and Roma definitely are on the lovey-dovey end of the spectrum. Finally free to live a life filled with love albeit in secret. When they meet a stranger in need of their help, they stumble upon something that could help Rosalind!
This leads to Marshall and Benedikt being sent on a mission where they unexpectedly get caught up in a murder mystery and try their luck as amateur sleuths.
Overall, a nice book reintroducing Juliette and Roma to bridge the gap between ‘Foul Lady Fortune’ and ‘Foul Heart Huntsman’. Excited to read the next book!
“Who are you people?”
“The wrong people to be upsetting.”

These short stories are fine. They read like fanfiction and not even amazing fanfiction. Chloe Gong seemed to want to over-explain how we get from the events in Foul Lady Fortune to whatever is going to happen in Foul Heart Huntsman, and I don’t think it was necessary. These were also a little too fluffy for my taste, especially in comparison to the overall tone of the series to this point.
My biggest complaints are probably about This Foul Murder which is so clearly Murder on the Orient Express done much worse than the original.
