The third book to the Freddie and Grace Mystery series is Juliet Code by Pepper Basham. In just a few weeks since their unexpected wedding, Lord and Lady Astley are finally in their honeymoon in Venice, Italy. What better way to enjoy their time than to join Detective Jack on what begins to be a search for who stole some paintings from a local art gallery?
But, of course, it's not just a simple theft. In fact, it turns into a trip to an island owned by a former circus trapeze artist who inherited a large sum of money from his late grandfather. Worth it, he's bought the island where the artist of the stolen art is from.
There's a ghost, an assault, Grace is pushed into and locked in a trunk, another painting stolen, a woman being pushed off the ferry, the detective gone missing, a secret message in the paintings, and an actual cave with treasures within it, and so much more. Phew! There's so much going on in this book!
My favorite part of this book is the cleverness of Grace, even when she's stuck in the trunk. She's a quick thinker and enjoys testing others, especially with their knowledge of books! I dream of being just a smudge as clever as she is! She'd be a fantastic friend to have!
I'm saddened that Freddie and Grace mystery is just this trilogy because I'd love to continue learning about their lives when they return to Havensbrook! But I do give this book 5 out of 5 tiaras and thank NetGalley and Barbour Books for access to this title.
