Who Speaks for the Damned by C.S. Harris
5.0
Rating: 4.5 STARS
2020; Berkley
I just finished the previous book in the series, and moved straight into this one. I had to read a chapter before I fell asleep. Bad idea! It caught my interest right away, so I quickly turned off my kindle before it was 4 am, and I am still reading. Who Speaks for the Damned was really interesting! The death of a man, Nicholas Hayes, who everyone thought was already dead bring up scandals from the past. Sebastian gets involved when his valet, Jules Calhoun mentions that Hayes was once a friend of his. To complicate matters, the young child with him has disappeared. The child is half-Asian and never been to London, so where would he go. Hero while interview the poor, tries to keep her eyes open for the missing child. Looking at all the advantages she has, and Simon, she can't help but make it personal. I likes that we got to know more about Jules and his mother throughout the case. Through Hero, we also learn more about how the poor "survive"on the street. The types of jobs they do to put food in their stomach. It was really interesting and makes me want to read a nonfiction book about the time. I really enjoyed this book and am hoping we get to know more about Sebastians mom and dad. I keep saying, at the end of each book, the next one will have more stuff.
