The Bell in the Fog is the follow-up to Lavender House.

In this book, Andy Mills has his own private investigation business above Elsie’s club, the Ruby. He’s struggling along and one day he gets a client from his past. An old flame and friend, James, needs Andy’s help in a blackmail scheme.

This book was slower than the first and it felt like it took me forever to read, but I was only 5 days. I think I also liked that Lavender House centered around the family and this one was more of Andy’s backstory and current career.

The Bell in the Fog is also pretty short and I thought the mystery was wrapped up about halfway through, but another mystery was layered within it. Because of this, the other mystery had to be wrapped up in quick order and felt rushed.

Overall, I liked the book and I am interested to see where this series takes us. I do hope the series brings back some of the other characters from the original!
