Brendan Holmes, Margaret Marple and Auguste Poe run the most in-demand private investigation agency in New York City.
The three detectives make a formidable team, solving a series of seemingly impossible crimes which expose the dark underbelly of the city - from a priceless art theft, high-stakes kidnapping and a decades-old unsolved murder, to a gruesome subterranean prison and corruption and bribery at the highest levels of power.
But it's not long before their headline-grabbing breakthroughs, unconventional methods - and untraceable pasts - attract the attention of the NYPD and the FBI.
After all, it's no surprise that there's a mystery or two to unravel in the city that never sleeps . . . not least, who really are Holmes, Marple and Poe?
I loved this book! I just couldn’t put it down! I thought the way it started was just brilliant and loved our main characters instantly. I really enjoyed learning more about them and their quirks as the story went on. I also liked that fact that we had detective Grey as our main police character alongside Holmes, Marple & Poe and thought that the four of them made a great team.
I thought that the storylines were great and loved how our trio of PI’s managed to get the upper hand investigating each one. Even though there were multiple cases that were being worked it never became messy or confusing to read which was perfect.
There was one point when I thought that a couple of scenes in the book had been forgotten about however, I was wrong and that was wrapped up and this also cleared up another little mystery too. Again, I thought the way that this was brought in was brilliant and very well written, the stories did just seem to flow seamlessly even though they were not related.
I am, however, very intrigued by our trio and I do hope that we get to hear more from them and learn more about them as clearly everything is not as it seems with them. They clearly want to do good and help people but I’m also wanting to know what they are hiding. I must say that I am impressed with the friends and contacts they have, and they do work well together with their differing skill sets.
