Lively Banter – with a Twist!
Fans of Saffron Amatti’s Lucas Rathbone Mystery Series will love this short story! While it certainly can be read as a standalone, if you’ve enjoyed Amatti’s earlier books, this work is even better. (Get your copy on Amazon here.)
Right away I was caught up in the lively banter of the three “main” characters: Lucas Rathbone, Clara Jenkins, and Tommy Kilbourne – the subject of the title. Amatti constructs her characters’ dialogues with the kind of snappy rhythm a reader can’t resist. The author gets high marks for her carefully crafted repartee!
The plot of Tommy Learns a Lesson moves swiftly – it is a short story after all. The drama doesn’t soar too high in this newest adventure in the series, so the resolution is believable. And yet, Amatti dishes out a tasty twist at the end of the tale readers won’t see coming! It’s a fun little cherry on top of a delicious cozy mystery.
Treat yourself and check out Saffron Amatti’s series!
If you enjoy British mysteries, cute couples, and devilish “bad” boys, you will definitely have fun getting to know the trio found in this latest installment.
