Review "Tope also succeeds in moving her series forward by exploring Phil Hollis past history as it affects his relationship with Thea. And while the plot is linked to paganism and Masonic beliefs, the author doesn t overwhelm readers with a treatise on either subject. Instead, she uses them to form a basis for the mystery, then lets her characters decide what about them is important to the story and what is not. Tope's blending of research, restraint, and a fascinating protagonist narrator makes this story a winner for fans of British mysteries.
