5.0 out of 5 starsBeatrice a fitting wife for Smith
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 11, 2022
This is the last book in the series of tales about the bad man the awesome dangerous Smith couldn’t catch. Beatrice is reaching the end of her pregnancy. She and Vi have been side lined. But the stress of the pregnancy and the danger of the killer on the loose is making everyone crazy. Kate delivered and Rita and Lila go into labor at the same time. Vi takes Rita and the Smiths take Lila, but awful and dangerous incidents keep happening. Finally Bea can’t keep herself from going over the list of people involved in the firm being investigated. I had assumed this was another brush from Smith’s past, but it really was about the current case. Her actions breakthings loose and, as all their friends tell Smith, he has taught her enough that she is capable of saving herself and her baby. It is an awesome ride and Beatrice truly proves she is as remarkable as Smith.

Beatrice and Smith have had some gritty adventures but this was the most far fetched. We have certainly been on the fiction express head injuries and childbirth are seldom this nonchalant.

5.0 out of 5 stars Smith investigations breaks the case
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 18, 2022

I love this series. Smith is a complicated man with a past few people know. He is clever and secretive. The one person he lets into his life and secrets is Bea, his wife. Together they solve some difficult cases. This latest one is extremely brutal. Every time a clue appears it seems to be layered in danger towards Smith and Bea. Can Smith unravel this mystery and keep Bea and their baby safe. Working with their close friends, they finally solve this very difficult puzzle.
I love this cast of characters. They are never boring and the glimpse into a past lifestyle is fun to imagine.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent story
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 9, 2022

As always, Ms. Byers delivers with the Smiths. I enjoy the emotions felt by the characters that are realistic and contribute to this particular thriller. A dash of humor helps too.

However, I cannot give this five stars due to numerous typos and errors in grammar and syntax.

I would recommend this novel as she is one of the best cozy writers I have read.

The mystery continues. Beatrice is kidnapped…… escapes….. has her baby.
All the regular players are involved plus Scotland Yard. Even the Earl is using his position to guarantee assistance at the highest level. Very satisfying ….

4.0 out of 5 stars too short
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 25, 2022

These seem to be getting shorter. Good story line but the rehashing of previous books in a short “book” seems a bit of a gyp. Really enjoy the The Smith Investigates series.

Good plotting. Improved edits. Still typos, but Beatrice growing into herself, and still a house mystery lurking. Next, please ma’am. Could I have some more?

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh My Goodness! Bea Solved the Crime!
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 6, 2022
Verified Purchase
While having her baby! How could so many things go wrong and end up so right? I especially loved the scene where the Detective Inspector, referring to Bea, says to Smith, “It all makes sense now. In fact, the only thing that doesn’t make any sense is why she would have you. I can see why you wanted her.” Now, if only Vi winds up having twins then all will be right in the world of this family of friends.

I feel as though I’ve run a marathon! There aren’t many characters that I care about but Bea and Smith are at the top of the list, short as it is. The gang is wonderfully depicted as a tightly knit group of individuals, sort of like the Three Musketeers only with a lot more people. I loved this story!
