The fourth Lily Adler mystery is out, and I was so excited to time-travel back to England in the 19th Century! Murder at Midnight is cleverly written, intent on exposing the dynamics of amateur sleuths, tense family dynamics, social gossip and outlaws. With every successive book, Lily Adler grows on me! Her sharp eye, wit and motivation to get to the bottom of a series of murders shine throughout the book. The author has done a fantastic job introducing diverse characters and touching on relevant social issues. On a personal front, Lily has a significant and life-changing decision to make, and this component is well-integrated throughout the book. Get ready to go down the rabbit hole with an evergrowing suspect list, with twists and turns that deliver an engaging and high-stakes read! The ending tugged my heartstrings, and I look forward to reuniting with Lily and her crew.
