Hello Fellow Readers,

I've finally got around to reading Silence of Deceit the third book in the 'Bow Street Duchess Mystery Series' I enjoyed the first two books and this third one was no different. I've come to appreciate Devlin's writing and conscience plot. So far every book has been interesting and well written, I also find myself paying very close attention to all the details, including the small ones, this is not just to figure out who the killers are but to also remember details because Devlin will usually slip them in other books in the series. 

In Silence of Deceit, we get a glimpse of Audrey's backstory and her time at the Shadewell Sanatorium. The cast of characters in this was vast and interesting. I also love the slow-burn relationship between Hugh and Audrey, Devlin is taking her time, and it's developing into something I am rooting for. Usually, I'm too impatient with Slow-burn romances but the chemistry and Devlin's interesting murder plots really reel me in. 

Overall, this is quickly becoming one of my favorite mystery series.
