There’s no such thing as a coincidence in York....

As Valentine's Day and Chinese New Year approach, the ancient city of York is busier than ever, and so is Detective Chief Inspector John Shadow. First, he has the theft of valuable Roman artifacts from a museum. Then, a Chinese tourist is reported missing. During his investigations, he encounters jewellers, chocolatiers, museum curators, and Roman soldiers—all pieces to a puzzle he must solve. After discovering a series of coincidences, he begins to suspect there may be a link between the two cases.

John Shadow is a man of contradictions. A solitary figure who notices the smallest details about other people, but endeavours to avoid their company. A lover of good food, but whose fridge is almost always empty. Although he would prefer to work alone, he is ably assisted by his eager partner Sergeant Jimmy Chang.

Shadow suspects he knows who the culprit is, but he needs proof. And then there’s the headache of trying to dodge attending an important party, even as the normally easygoing Jimmy behaves out of character.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I was provided this book for free. I am voluntarily posting this review and all opinions expressed are my own.

This is the fourth book in the Chief Inspector Shadow series. I have not read any of the previous books in the series. It is a standalone mystery with some brief mentions of prior events, I assume, occurred in the prior books. I had no problems following the story or understanding the characters.

This is an enjoyable cozy mystery involving a theft, missing persons, and a murder. Along the way, the author provides some historical information, delved into the backstory of the two detectives and threw in some local color, all of which I quite enjoyed.

The narrator, Hannibal Hills, is engaging and a great narrator.

Very Enjoyable
