The Merchant of Death by Lisa Henry, J.A. Rock
4.0
Starting straight from the end of [b:The Two Gentlemen of Altona|22439645|The Two Gentlemen of Altona (Playing the Fool, #1)|Lisa Henry|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1408431875s/22439645.jpg|41864532], this is a great follow on story.
After the first book I wanted to see more of what made Henry who he is and I wanted to see Mac loosen up a bit.
Well, I got one! Henry and Viola's past is a big focus, and I could feel his pain and guilt for Viola's accident. The pressure to always be one step ahead in the game is what makes him Henry. But we also saw glimpses of Sebastian, the little boy who really just wants someone to love and support him.
I enjoyed his time in St Albinus
Mac's mystery is only boiling up more, with teasers - no new news on the who and why but a few how's thrown in. And he is not loosening up at all really - still being driven bonkers by Henry. But now feelings are causing the problems not just frustrations.
Another ending leading off into who knows what - scary for Henry anyway but I have a feeling Viola will be a big hit. Looking forward to march for [b:Tempest|22439662|Tempest (Playing the Fool, #3)|Lisa Henry|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1408432005s/22439662.jpg|41864552]
