Ashes to Ashes

Ministry of Curiosities, Book 5

By: C. J. Archer

Narrated by: Shiromi Arserio

Charlie is gone, and Lincoln finds that Lichfield Towers offers no sanctuary. With reminders of her at every turn, and employees threatening to mutiny, he must try to find the murderer who is killing supernaturals on his own. And keep the murderer away from Charlie.

When the strongman from the visiting Barnum and Bailey's circus is murdered, Lincoln suspects a link, but piecing together the clues becomes dangerous and difficult work. He can't afford to be distracted, yet he finds he can't concentrate fully on the task. Even worse, Seth's mother, the incomparable Lady Vickers, has come to stay.

Ashes to Ashes is a bonus novella-length story told entirely from Lincoln's point of view. It is shorter than the rest of the books in the Ministry of Curiosities series.

Disbelief

I can’t believe I’m enjoying C. J. Archer’s romance novels. I’m the type that enjoys war novels.

the characters

I love the characters and story line! I want Charlie to come back!
I wonder what Mrs. Vickers has to do with the story...

Lincoln

I very much enjoy the lead male perspective!
So often in many series I tend to wonder what the train of thought in the opposing lead role is, and with a character as closed up as Lincoln I thoroughly enjoyed an inside peek!

Series Filler Novelette

Told from Lincoln's pov, I think there is something wrong with him. He doesn't think normally, and I think he's bipolar. up, down, up down.

Lincoln's Point of View in a Book

This book in the Ministry of Curiosities series was much shorter. On the surface that was odd, but it was entirely from Lincoln's point of view. He is a man of few words. It was a good bridge between books 4 and 6 I think. I enjoyed it.
