About the Book
Title: Children of the Shadows
Series: Thorndike & Swann Regency Mysteries #3
Author: Erica Vetsch
Publisher: Kregel Publications
Release Date: October 23, 2023
Genre: Christian Regency Mystery
Detective Daniel Swann and debutante Juliette Thorndike once again team up to solve a dangerous mystery--while trying to keep their growing romance secret.
Someone is preying upon the street children of Regency London. They seem to think no one will notice when urchins go missing--and even if they are noticed, who will care?
Daniel needs to do something about the missing children. But with recent revelations about his past and an unexpected, somewhat unwelcome inheritance to deal with, this is a terrible time to dive back into the seedy underbelly of the crime world. Nevertheless, he's still a Bow Street runner, and his partner Lady Juliette is sensitive to the plight of these wayward youngsters. They're on the case, searching shadowed alleys and coal-drenched streets to find the missing.
But the tangle of expectation and the dynamics of power cannot be easily ignored, even if there are children in danger. When Daniel's past threatens to overwhelm his future, he will need a miracle and the help of his friends to both apprehend the villain and unravel his tangled family web. And it may be that his new responsibilities demand that he leave the children of the shadows to their terrible fate--or lose everything.
Erica Vetsch's popular Regency mystery series concludes with a bang, sure to satisfy readers who have hung on every page since book one.
My thoughts: I have enjoyed every one of Erica Vetsch's books, and have particularly enjoyed how this series has progressed! I would recommend reading the books in order, since the story makes more sense that way, though this one can be enjoyed as a stand alone. It's just interesting to read about how Juliette and Daniel got to the points they are at in the beginning of this story.
A lot is going on: with Daniel and his past, then Lady Juliette facing choices about her future. The suspense is spot on. I enjoyed how the characters develop throughout this story. I enjoyed the different look at this point in history, with Juliette's world clashing a bit with helping the street children.
I highly recommend picking this book up! I received this book from Just Read. This is my honest review.
