My rating: 5 of 5 stars
In A Dalliance with Grief, Kate Haley returns to her beautifully imagined alternate Victorian London, delivering a poignant and immersive third installment in the Shilling & Florin Mysteries. With every turn of the page, this book deepens the emotional resonance of the series while still giving readers the clever twists and turns of a top-tier mystery.
Amelia Florin and Charles Shilling are back—and this time, grief shadows their every step. As the duo navigates a murder mystery steeped in personal loss and societal tension, Haley masterfully intertwines the analytical brilliance of Shilling with the fierce compassion of Florin. Their partnership feels richer, more vulnerable, and heartbreakingly human.
The slow-burn romance that fans have come to cherish smolders beneath the surface. But it’s not just about clues and chemistry—this story captures the raw ache of loss, the awkwardness of healing, and the courage it takes to continue searching for truth in a world blurred by sorrow.
Kate Haley’s prose is elegant yet accessible. Her characters are nuanced, her world immersive, and her pacing pitch-perfect. Whether you're drawn to mysteries, period dramas, or character-driven fiction, A Dalliance with Grief offers an unforgettable experience.
🔍 If you haven’t started the Shilling & Florin series, you’re missing out on a rare blend of mystery and emotional depth.
