I keep saying this but... how did we get this far into a series and it still feel fresh? Book 39... wowsers. And I have read and loved every single one. It's like slipping my feet into a nice warm pair of slippers when I open a new Delaware book. Reconnecting with Alex and Milo - Robin, Rick, and Blanche too of course. And marvel at the old cars still going... All that excitement without actually mentioning the case to be solved which is the cherry on an already delicious cake to me...! The case in question is that of a double homicide. The heir of an Italian shoe empire and his unknown female "guest". Discovered by his housekeeper in his posh home. The woman is swiftly identified as his married neighbour, could this be a simple motived open and shut case? Obviously not as it would be a short boring book, but I am going to leave the rest for you to discover. Suffice to say it's a cracker...! I absolutely love this partnership. Alex and Milo, chalk and cheese, but also very similar. They are such close friends too and that helps with them bouncing the ideas that formulate the solutions to many a quandary. There is definitely no ego in the room when they get going. Outwith the case, I also enjoy the rest of the narrative. Be-it Robin's latest instrument restoration. Blanche's shenanigans, the journeys, the food. The whole shebang really. In fact the only thing I hate about the books is finishing them and having to wait until the next one... But, patient I must be, and at least I know it will be worth it :)
