Publisher's Summary

There’s a new crow in town....

After the explosive events of the Copper Heart, Lydia must deal with a secret service operative with murder in his heart.

The mysterious Mr Smith has sent a professional assassin after Lydia and the bonds of blood are stretched to breaking point when it turns out to be someone very close to home.

Meanwhile, the head of the powerful Silver Family is demanding a favour and Lydia must comply or risk their fledgling alliance.

To be strong enough to beat the odds stacked against her, Lydia must delve deep into Crow Family lore, but what she discovers is far from a fairy tale....

In a fight between two Crows, only one can win, but is Lydia willing to do what it takes to defeat her adversary?

Don't miss the exciting sixth instalment in the best-selling urban fantasy mystery series Crow Investigations.

Critic Reviews

"My favourite new urban fantasy series, clever and twisty and deliciously magical, with a shivery sense of wonder that feels utterly grounded in its London setting. Perfect for fans of Ben Aaronovitch, Genevieve Cogman or Robert Galbraith!" (Stephanie Burgis, author of Snowspelled)

keep them coming

Still capturing my attention after 6 books... a definite knack for keeping you guessing and wanting more. I'm keen to read the next one.

Character growth?

I feel that Lydia is the same character in book 1 as she is in box 6. She is still tough as nails, crows don’t flinch, crows don’t run, and “I’m fine” and yet so full of doubt, with no confidence in herself, her abilities, constantly suppressing her emotions … but I really want her to do is kick arse, have good relationships with herself, her friends and family and a good leader.
I think 50% of this book was her doubting herself, being paranoid and catastrophising or people telling her not to do something because it’s dangerous, be careful - and then she goes and does it anyway.
Despite all this, I am still enjoying the story, even though I am frustrated with the lack of personal growth of the protagonist
