England, 1976. Mrs. Creasy is missing, and the Avenue is alive with whispers. The neighbors blame her sudden disappearance on the heat wave, but 10-year-olds Grace and Tilly aren't convinced. As the summer shimmers endlessly on, the girls decide to take matters into their own hands. Inspired by the local vicar, they go looking for God - they believe that if they find him they might also find Mrs. Creasy and bring her home.

Truly disappointed
Revisado: 08-22-18
I'd read so much hype about this book that I was going to pick it for the book club I attend. So glad I previewed it because I'd have been caned. It tried to be similar to Kate Atkinson's BEHIND THE SCENES AT THE MUSUEM but was truly lacking. I really wanted to Love this book but just couldn't. I didn't like the characters and as a coming of age story it just didn't cut the mustard.

London, September 1666. The Great Fire rages through the city, consuming everything in its path. Even the impregnable cathedral of St. Paul's is engulfed in flames and reduced to ruins. Among the crowds watching its destruction is James Marwood, son of a disgraced printer and reluctant government informer. In the aftermath of the fire, a semi-mummified body is discovered in the ashes of St. Paul's, in a tomb that should have been empty. The man's body has been mutilated, and his thumbs have been tied behind his back.

Captain William Avery is persuaded to investigate, and soon discovers a web of rivalries and hatreds, both personal and political, simmering behind the club's handsome façade, and in particular concerning its resident genius, Alexis Soyer, "the Napoleon of food", a chef whose culinary brilliance is matched only by his talent for self-publicity. But Avery is distracted, for where is his mentor and partner-in-crime Jeremiah Blake? And what if this first death was only a dress rehearsal for something far more sinister?

I really enjoyed M.J. Carter's Blake and Avery series. and could not wait for Book 3. Unfortunately, it was a disappointment. Everything seemed off. In Book 1 and 2 the character's grew and developed. In Book 3 there was little character development and they appeared tired and wooden. The plot line was convoluted. Just couldn't get into this at all.Usually in a series the writing and plots get better not with this one. Sigh.

When the body of a journalist is found, Detective Inspector Willow Reeves is drafted from outside to head up the investigation. Inspector Jimmy Perez has been out of the loop, but his local knowledge is needed in this case, and he decides to help Willow. The dead journalist had left the islands years before to pursue his writing career. In his wake, he left a scandal involving a young girl. When Willow and Jimmy dig deeper, they realize that the journalist was chasing a story that many Shetlanders didn't want to come to the surface.
