The Bell in the Fog takes place after the events of Lavender House. Andy Mills is now a private investigator, but his business isn't doing so well because of his reputation as an ex-cop. When an old flame from his navy days comes asking for help with blackmail, Andy can't say no. What he discovers is more than he bargained for.
This is a continuation of Andy Mills' story from Lavender House and I thought it was well done. We got to see some old characters and relationships show up and grow, but we also got a few new characters from Andy Mills' past. I liked learning a little more about his past prior to him being a cop then PI. This one followed a mystery inside a mystery. When you think the one is wrapped up, it opened up a whole new slew of questions that needed to be answered. I actually liked how that was done.
Definitely recommend it for those that like a little bit of mystery and/or noir-type books.
These are very different from LC Rosen's YA novels. So be aware of that if you love those. Still good but different vibes completely.
Content warning: homophobia, violence, murder
Thank you to bookishfirst, forgebooks, and the author for an arc of the book in exchange for an honest review.
