My Thouhgts

What a fabulous series this has been. It began with The Mistletoe Countess and then continued with The Cairo Curse. Now we find ourselves at the conclusion of the series with The Juliet Code. I hate that we're at the end but what a fantastic adventure it has been.

This volume opens up as Freddie and Grace finally settle in to enjoying their honeymoon. They have traveled to Venice, Italy and are looking forward to a lovely time. Well that lasts for about half a day and then they are once again unwittingly drawn into solving a mystery.

The fun part is that we finally get to meet the infamous detective, Jack Miracle. He's every bit as interesting as Grace has led us to believe. Just by chance *wink wink* Jack is in Italy to help solve the mystery of some missing paintings. Of course he happens to run into Freddie and Grace and the adventure begins.

I really can't recommend this book and whole series enough. Pepper Basham has a wonderful way of creating characters that you become attached to and she places them in situations that are an adventure for the reader. If her name is on the cover, I want to read the book.
