Dead and Buried by Barbara Hambly

4.0

I love finally finding out, ten books later, Hannibal's mysterious backstory. It is a doozy. I figured, about when Hannibal started refusing against all reason to consider that the viscount was guilty, that he was the kid's father, but I thought it had been an affair until January returned from his trip upriver.

Benjamin, man. What a good dude he is. I love that he's angry with Hannibal and (justifiably!) at the world, but that he chooses again and again to swallow it rather than letting that rage get him killed. I loved the frequent references to Brer Rabbit and how the stories taught survival at all costs.

Also, it was nice to see Shaw again. I had missed the torture of the English language.
