February 2017 Book Report

A Fitting Conclusion (2015) by Emily Thomas

The last book in the Blue Hills Library series. This was a very enjoyable series and I’m glad they brought things to a close rather than just stop writing. The mystery involved a kitty and a diamond ring. As for the possible romance between Anne and Alex, that was finally dealt with openly, with the two of them deciding to go forward together into the future.
