This is Book 3 of the Barker & Llewelyn mystery series.

I am thrilled to say that this series just keeps getting better. I have really grown to like Cyrus Barker, and Will Thomas has done a masterful job of keeping him mysterious while slowly letting you in on the details of his life.

The Limehouse Text was a very well written mystery and it is probably my favorite installment of the series so far. While Barker begins to re-investigate the cold case of his murdered former assistant, the text describing an ancient and deadly Chinese fighting style goes missing in London. On top of that, multiple murders are taking place.

It is an engaging read from start to finish and I truly enjoyed the additional glimpses of character development that continue to occur between Barker and Llewelyn. This book is another success and I highly recommend it.
