Once, when I picked up a book from the local library, the librarian asked to tell her what I thought about the book when I would bring it back. Well, why not write a few lines about all the books I read so everybody could see what I thought about it? I'm often also happy to have friends recommend a certain book or tell me this and that is not really worth reading. I won't comment about the tons of books I have read so far, but about books I read from now on.

It is highly recommended to read the first three books in "The Firebrand Series" before this one; knowing what happened up to now goes a long way to appreciate what is going on in this fourth book.
Emma always has been wondering why she can resurrect and what exactly happened when she was a child and her parents were killed. When a mysterious murder, which might include supernaturals, happens in her hometown of that time, it is a good chance to lend a hand in the current investigation and at the same time have a look into a few things from her childhood time.
Before long, Emma stumbles upon a detail of her parents' murder, which changes most of what she has known about it. And indeed, some folks might know more about it than they let on. The victim of the recent murder could have been one of them.
This book has a completely new setting, temporarily away from London and the usual supe community Constable Detective Emma Bellamy is familiar with. By doing so, Helen Harper prevents the book to be "just another story of the same kind". It has a lot to do with Emma herself. The character of Lord Horvath is gradually evolving and changing, opening up the potential for uncertain paths in the future.
