A great new outing with Russell and Holmes! We reconnect with Damian Adler and his family, as well as uncovering a new mystery in their own family circle. This had a satisfying mix of legwork detecting and puzzle solving that still left room for a lot of character moments with high personal stakes.
I love when a new volume sends me back to reread older installments that connect, and now I’m rereading Language of the Bees for the first time after finishing Lantern Dance.
