One of the key themes of the book is the idea that human connection is a fundamental aspect of the human experience. I argue that our relationships with others are essential to our well-being, happiness, and sense of purpose. I also explore the ways in which we can cultivate deeper, more meaningful connections with others, and provide practical advice and strategies for doing so.

The book is written in an approachable and accessible style, making it easy for readers to engage with the material and reflect on their own relationships and connections. I've included a range of examples and anecdotes to illustrate key points and make the concepts more relatable.

I really enjoyed this entry in this series, it had that mystery element that I was looking for from the description. A.J. McCarthy created a great story and enjoyed how good everything worked overall. It was suspenseful and was engaging for the reader.

This was an enjoyable read with an interesting plot,

When Shanna senses she is being followed, a man approaches her, claiming to be her uncle. Shanna approaches a couple, Simm and Charlie, and asks them to investigate. What they discover is a horrifying history of orphans being labelled mentally ill and a family who may be sitting on unknown treasure.

I felt there was a real lack of character development which may not be a problem for anyone who has read the first two books in the series, but as a standalone, the shallowness of the characters let the story down.

3 ⭐️ Thanks to Netgalley, A. J. McCarthy and Black Rose for an ARC in return for an honest review.

Thank you NetGalley and Black Rose Publishing for the eARC.
This is a good mystery set in Montreal and headed by 2 very likeable characters and their cute pug. It covers a nasty part in Canada's history, when the babies of unwed mothers were taken from them and put in a home for the mentally ill because the government paid more for doctor care than the care for orphaned babies. Horrifying...
But it has an uplifting ending!
