Keila (speedreadstagram)'s Reviews > The Lady from Burma

This is the fifth installment in the Sparks & Bainbridge Mystery series. This series is one that can be read as stand-alone – or in order.

Sparks & Bainbridge are matchmakers, yet they can’t quite figure out their personal lives. Each of them is dealing with some traumas that make it difficult for them to pair off. In this installment, a client is dying and looking for a suitable replacement, so her widow is left with love.

I enjoyed the mental health aspect of this book. It highlights how mental health was treated in the past, and it allowed me to reflect on how far we have come. The character development was well done, and if you have read the previous installments, you will appreciate the nuances mentioned. The atmosphere was done well, and it made you feel like you were right there with them in post-war London.

If you’re looking for an atmospheric mystery, then check this one out July 25th! Thank you to St. Martin’s Press, @stmartinspress, the author, and @netgalley for a copy of this e-ARC in exchange for this honest review
