#29 Where Serpents Sleep by C.S. Harris
Jun. 11th, 2018 08:56 amThis book feels like a pivot in the series. The book starts out with Hero barely surviving an attack on a Quaker house of former prostitutes. Hero is interviewing them for a paper she is writing when men break in to murder the women and set fire to the house. Hero and one of the women go out a window and start down the street but the woman with her is shot dead in the road. Jarvis is trying to cover up what happened so no one will find out that Hero was there and forbids her to go to the authorities. So she goes to Devlin to ask him to look into it. He dives into the case and there is so much more than first appears to be. A really great series that blends history into the storyline without feeling like you are reading a textbook.
