About the Book Children of the Shadows

Title: Children of the Shadows
Series: Thorndike & Swann Regency Mysteries #3
Author: Erica Vetsch
Publisher: Kregel Publications
Release Date: October 23, 2023
Genre: Christian Regency Mystery

Detective Daniel Swann and debutante Juliette Thorndike once again team up to solve a dangerous mystery–while trying to keep their growing romance secret.

Someone is preying upon the street children of Regency London. They seem to think no one will notice when urchins go missing–and even if they are noticed, who will care?

Daniel needs to do something about the missing children. But with recent revelations about his past and an unexpected, somewhat unwelcome inheritance to deal with, this is a terrible time to dive back into the seedy underbelly of the crime world. Nevertheless, he’s still a Bow Street runner, and his partner Lady Juliette is sensitive to the plight of these wayward youngsters. They’re on the case, searching shadowed alleys and coal-drenched streets to find the missing.

But the tangle of expectation and the dynamics of power cannot be easily ignored, even if there are children in danger. When Daniel’s past threatens to overwhelm his future, he will need a miracle and the help of his friends to both apprehend the villain and unravel his tangled family web. And it may be that his new responsibilities demand that he leave the children of the shadows to their terrible fate–or lose everything.

Erica Vetsch’s popular Regency mystery series concludes with a bang, sure to satisfy readers who have hung on every page since book one.

My Thoughts on Children of the Shadows

Children of the Shadows is book three in a fun series that you’re going to want to read all of! Bonus if you read them all in order.  I have read them all and have loved each book.  I highly recommend that you read them in order.  It’s the best way to do it.  But you can always be a rebel and read this one without reading the other two. 

This book was amazing!  I have loved this series.  It reads quickly and keeps you fully immersed in the book.  You won’t be able to stop reading the book.  Of course, read it in order!  I’ve said that before but you’ll get the most from the book if you know the backstory of our two main characters and how they met, what their lives are like, etc. 

Daniel is our bow street runner.  He’s concerned with bringing justice to the streets of London.  Add in the feisty Juliette and you’re reading for an engaging read.  She’s always fun to catch up with!  They’re in a relationship, but not. . . in that they’re trying to hide it.  

Children are going missing off the streets and they seem to be the only ones who notice or care.  Join the fun and danger as you try to solve the case before them!
