Marvelous Series - just one omission

Absolutely adored this last (?) in the eighteen book series. The JW & OC team are certainly in my Hall of Fame. I believe there's only one glaring omission and that's the apprenticeship with Maurice Blanche. A flashback to that period could be an amazing 2 book addition to the series. The mentorship of Dr Blanche, fascinating cases and remarkable characters Maisie would have been exposed to would be the real icing on the cake.

Jane Casey has such wonderful potential with all the brilliant characters that now surround Maeve. Loved the exposition regarding Rob and the potential of Harry & Rob working together. Please Jane, keep writing!!!! 🌹

I absolutely adore this series & yes we're constrained by a global pandemic - getting narrators probably is difficult - however, the general narration has a distinct US English sound and the characters are for the most part UK. It's distracting and slightly disappointing. AC's episode of our heroes is lovely and I'll continue the series regardless - additionally should the narrator do other books - I wouldnt
hesitate to purchase - she's great - imo not for this series

Just so-so and quite a let down from other AF books. Main characters simply too weak

The story was adequate however with dozens of characters, the narrator was underwhelming. Armitage should have had at least 2 people to assist. Additionally, most of the female voices were poor.

Narration disconcerting as Doyle really doesn't do children and females well. Story very weak and the situation with Mel turned unnecessarily trashy. Just a horrible effort by Crombie

I've read a lot of Mary Burton - this is simply miserable. Dislikeable characters and weak narration
