An Ordinary Sort of Evil by Kelley Armstrong- Publishes 5/19/26

 

4.5 Stars- Another great addition to the series!  In this novel Mallory and Gray are summoned to the Adler household because during a seance the ghost of a former maid says she was murdered.  Mallory and Gray don't have any real proof that a crime was committed but decide to humor Mrs. Adler and begin investigating.  As the case unfolds they learn that there is more to the story than meets the eye.  

First of all, if you are a fan of mystery this story will capture your attention.  I did not figure out what was going on until it was revealed.  Second, if you love historical fiction you will enjoy the details that this author captures of the Victorian Era.  There was also a surprise cameo of a historical figure that absolutely made the story! Third, if you like time travel this book is the one for you.  Mallory is a homicide detective from Canada with modern knowledge and seeing how she uses that in 1800s Scotland, makes this a must read story. 

For me this series has it all.  The ending of the book makes me especially excited to see where the next book will go.
