India and Matt thought all their problems would come to an end once they found Chronos. But the watch magician brings with him as many questions as answers, and a load of trouble. To fix Matt's magic watch, they must find an old diary that once belonged to a doctor magician murdered decades ago. The hunt drags them into a sordid mystery involving two of London's craft guilds. With old and new enemies determined to stop them, and long-held secrets unearthed, Matt and India must work together better than ever.

I've not read the author's other works but the ad copy suggests Romance. I write this to assure readers that while the main characters love lives are important parts of these stories, there's no need to fear soppy tracts of purple prose.
I'm ripping through this series. The romance in it is fun, not overwrought. The mysteries are well handled and the action is fun.

The Series Comes Into Its Own
Reviewed: 05-29-24
the first book was well executed hard boiled pulp, the second had leaned more on Fleming's conscience and love, which was fun. The remaining before this one started to drag for me, but this one was on the money.
Fleming had a good "inside story" trying to handle the hoodlums without becoming like them. There were some pieces of the mystery i couldn't fit together till the end, but the answer made prefect sense.
It feels like the author has cleared the slate for new adventures and I'm here for it. (I recently listened to the first in a new series by Elrod and it was more to my taste with very solid prose, giving me high expectations fur the remainder of this one.)

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 556
The white power movement in America wants a revolution. It has declared all-out war against the federal government and its agents, and has carried out - with military precision - an escalating campaign of terror against the American public. In Bring the War Home, Kathleen Belew gives us the first full history of the movement that consolidated in the 1970s and 1980s around a potent sense of betrayal in the Vietnam War and made tragic headlines in the 1995 bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building.

informative and thorough but incredibly dry.
Reviewed: 03-08-22
exhaustive but it doesn't feel like it was aimed at a mass audience. very dry, lots of detail, immaculately reported. there was one weird section where the author speculated rather wildly about what Tim McVeigh might have been doing or thinking. not to say that her hypothesis that his crime was part of the White Power movement was implausible or unsupported, far from it. just that this one moment of guessing felt out of place.
