The Mortal Word
Description of book
In 1890s Paris, a librarian and a detective must track down a killer – before the city goes up in flames. The Mortal Word is the enthralling fifth instalment in the Invisible Library series from Genevieve Cogman.
A corrupt countess. A spy in danger. And an assassin.
Peace talks are always tricky – especially when a key diplomat gets stabbed. This murder rudely interrupts a top-secret summit between the warring dragons and Fae, so Librarian-spy Irene is summoned to investigate. With her detective friend Vale, she must track down the killer – as peace hangs by a thread.
Accusations fly thick and fast. Irene soon finds herself in the seedy depths of the Parisian underworld on the trail of a notoriously warlike Fae, the Blood Countess. However, the evidence against the Countess is only circumstantial. Could the assassin – or assassins – be closer than anyone suspects?
Continue the witty and wonderful series with The Secret Chapter.

Först av allt: den här uppläsaren är fantastisk!! Den här serien är bra och nyskapande, den har bra karaktärer och en bra världsbyggnad MEN just nu är allt liksom bara bra. Sticker inte ut alls, utvecklas mycket lite och vilar verkligen på tidigare böckers humor, spänning och idéer. Dock lovade slutet att det kan börja hända saker i nästa bok, och jag gillar som sagt karaktärerna så… jag fortsätter! :)
