At last!Return to the world of Emma Jameson’s bestselling Blue series in book #5, Blue Blooded.Tony Hetheridge is stepping into a new career—private detective. As a Chief Superintendent for New Scotland Yard, he spent years presiding over the “Toff Squad,” handling murders that intersected with the rich and powerful. Now that mantle passes to his wife, Kate, while Tony is free to pick and choose … to pick and choose his cases. The first: the strange suicide of Mariah Keene and the simultaneous disappearance of her twin, Mark. The twenty-one-year-old twins were Uni dropouts, recreational drug users, and dabblers in the unusual spiritual discipline called sacred geometry. But those risk factors pale compare to their association with the unjustly acquitted triple murderer, Sir Duncan Godington.
As Tony goes undercover in the City of Westminster to search for Mark and discover what really happened to Mariah, tempestuous Kate struggles to balance family life with work. She and Tony are determined to adopt nine-year-old Henry; her estranged sister, Maura, is suing to regain full custody. At Scotland Yard’s new HQ, her best mate Paul Bhar is being put out to pasture while Kate finds herself up for a long-sought promotion. And her first solo investigation, the high-tech murder of a politician, takes an unexpected turn toward Tony’s case—and Sir Duncan. Is it mere coincidence? Or has Sir Duncan’s reckoning come at last?

No great work of literature, but for fans of period British mysteries, you could do much worse.
Love this series! Reading them all. Can’t wait for the next installment in the series. Reminiscent of Inspector Lynley series of books (the lord working as a copper with a middle class partner)
Couldn’t wait for this release. This series is great. It helps to read them in order as the story line and characters develop in each story.
This story takes us to Tony’s new venture as a PI and Kate’s continuance in the
Tuff Squad. Danger still targets both Tony and Kate and people involved with them.
Great story, doesn’t disappoint. Highly recommended.’
I like the characters and love trying to solve the murder. So far I am always surprised up until close to the end.
I’m a big fan of this series and eagerly read every new addition as it is released. I felt as though the ending of this book was rushed but won’t elaborate as I don’t want to give anything away!
Love this series. Read whole series all in one sitting, couldn’t put them down.
