Synopsis

"This is what would happen if a trainee James Bond was asked to solve an Agatha Christie mystery, and it's brilliant." —Stuart Turton, bestselling author of The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle

The raven had struck. And the thing was, she knew exactly who was next…

London, 1960. Marion Lane, a twenty-five-year-old apprentice detective at the elusive Miss Brickett’s Investigations & Inquiries, is busier than ever and determined to prove herself worthy of an official Inquirer badge. But when her close friend's girlfriend, Darcy, is targeted by a dangerous gang leader and seeks out the Inquirers’ assistance, Marion cannot help but get involved.

Just when Marion thinks she has the situation under control, Darcy disappears and the agency receives a package containing a dead raven. Everyone is puzzled by what the threat could mean, except for Marion. She recognizes it as the same calling card left on her mother's doorstep just before she died.

With harrowing twists and turns, Marion Lane and the Raven's Revenge follows Marion’s most personal case to date. To uncover who is behind these ominous packages and find Darcy, she must piece together how they are related to her mother’s mysterious death and secretive past.

3.5 stars. Would've been four, but there was a way-too-lengthy section of the main character (who is still a trainee) absolutely convinced (irrationally) that she is the linchpin to holding a situation together while the very experienced person keeps telling her to shut up / leave the scene and she......more

3.5/5 stars Honestly, this was definitely my least favorite book in the series so far… Instead of evolving as a better, stronger character in this book, I feel like Marion went through a major character devolution instead. She saw in the past how working together helped bring cases to a close even eas......more

A very disappointing end to a mediocre series. The world is fascinating, but the plot and the writing just can't keep up with it.......more

Goodreads review by Elvira on April 21, 2024

I have to agree with others on this series. There first book was intriguing and then it basically went down hill. The main character doesn’t learn from her mistakes and the school seems to be inefficient in teaching them anything about investigating. The plot of the mystery relies on Marion thinking......more
