The Sleuth of Blackfriars Lane by Michelle Griep


 Book Description:  Wife. Mother. Homemaker. Detective. Kit Forge wears many hats, and if that’s not enough, she’s partnered with her father to open a new detective agency. It’s hard to be all things to all people, but Kit never shies away from the impossible. Despite her hard work and good intentions, some things fall through the cracks.

 Namely, her husband.

But Jackson barely notices. He’s too busy putting out his own fires. As the new chief inspector of a busy London station, he must salvage the disaster left behind by the former police chief—an obstacle made all the harder when the superintendent breathes an ultimatum down his neck.
 
Against her father’s advice, Kit takes on a case involving a missing child, one in which she and Jackson become a little too emotionally involved. . .and end up endangering their own little girl in the process.

My Thoughts:  I love Michelle Griep's stories and this one did not disappoint. 

This is a first for me, reading about a father/daughter detective team and a married woman with a child, too.

The suspense of the dangerous streets of London keeps the reader on the edge.  And to imagine that a young married woman with a child dares to take on the mastermind of evil.

Not all super heroines wear capes some wear courage and motherhood.  Kit is determined to find the missing child for she cannot imagine a mother without her precious child.

Kit's father advises her not to take the case but against his wishes she traverses the highways and byways of London scouring every crook and cranny to find the missing child.  But she unintentionally leaves her husband out of her detective work and unknowingly endangers her own sweet daughter to the evil of the madman.

On the other hand, her husband, Jackson, has a new job and unknowingly allows Kit the freedom to pursue the evil. one.  Jackson soon realizes his mistake and he knows he needs to reign in Kit and protect his family.

This is a NOT to be missed read if love to action and suspense.  Bonus setting in London.
