This novella set included two cozy reads that tie together the two duologies of the Secret Shanghai series together. So much wholesomeness!! And while these novellas added to the series, they feel like they could stand alone in their plot arcs. They definitely leave me wanting more, both of these characters and about the main plot in Foul Heart Huntsman. My only critiques are that in A Foul Thing, the couple was a bit too lovey dovey; since they are involved with weapons trade I would have loved more of that side of things. Also, in This Foul Murder, it was unclear that this took place a few months after A Foul Thing so I was really confused by the ending for a bit. It was so nice to see more of the “epilogue” of these two couples and I am so excited to finish the series!!
