What Angels Fear by C.S. Harris
5.0
The series had me at its 3-word titles. I want to read them all but not sure if I have the stamina to read all 18 books (number standing in 2021).
The introducing book was done in such a clever way to start a string of character developments. Viscount Devlin, hellish rake, disinterested heir, traumatized ex-soldier, brokenhearted lover, accused murderer and fugitive. While tagging along him through the murder investigation, we also learn about his past, his view of society and justice, his relationship with his father and sister, the last 2 members of his family. His romance with Kat Boleyn also plays a major part in this book. Spoiler alert, it's not a HEA. The romance trope is one of forbidden love and has a lot of pain and sadness to it.
The murder mystery itself is complicated with many twists and turns. Though the identity of the killer did cross my mind at first. The book kept me guessing until the moment the author chose to reveal it.
