My Review
Before I start the review I have to mention the book covers for this series as they are stunning. Deadly Treasures is just as lovely and it is a perfect fit for this series. Even though this book is the third in the series it can be read as a standalone. I wouldn't say that there would be any confusion reading this book first. It is such a fun cosy mystery series though so it is worth starting at the beginning and getting a better feel for the characters.
I have to say that it was lovely to see Jake and Alkmene team up again as they have such a great partnership. With them complimenting each other perfectly as they discuss the case seemingly finding dead ends until they hit upon a clue. Lady Alkmene is a strong and determined character that is easy to like.
The story gets going straight away and I even though I felt sorry for Alkmene when she found out where Duncan actually is I also couldn't help but smile! There is a murder to solve with a few suspects along the way to keep Alkmene and Jake busy. The plot moves pretty smoothly and for the most part kept my attention. I quickly read this story in one evening as there were a couple of twists that kept things moving along nicely.
I really hope that there will be more adventures with Alkmene and Jake!
Adventure, mystery and hidden treasure!
