Where I'm Sorry to Reach the End of the Series

Loot by Grace Cavendish
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another nice entry in this series. It's also the last of the series, unfortunately, though there's lots of room to write more if the authors and publishers had a mind to.

Like pretty much all of them, it tells a nice story, makes good use of period details, has sympathetic characters, and has significant enough stakes to keep it engaging without raising the tension too high. In tone and readability, it's much like Enola Holmes, and both series, written for MG or YA audiences, make very nice cozy mysteries for adults.

IMO.

But they're also ideal for young readers; I love a series that can hook a kid and then offer so many sequels. I hope somebody decides to bring them all back out in new editions--there's a whole new group of young people who are unlikely to find these older copies and they certainly deserve to be read.

Recommended--the book and the series, I mean.
