I had recently read ( and reviewed) The House on Needless Street. I rarely have that type of reaction to getting a book invite. I started jumping up and down and yelling, “ I got it!! I got it!!“.

For a lot of them, he wasn’t particularly well liked, but he was still a part of the team. The Foxes are in turmoil after the death of a teammate. ![]() This picks up just after the end of the first book. ![]() But I think overall I just got more questions?

We don’t get enough about Sam and Lucy together. Instead, this book has a women’s fiction feel where the story is more about Lucy’s personal growth than the romance.
