Investigative duo, Dora Fitz-Pennington and Dr Jacob Sandys, have escaped London and headed north to the Lakes, both needing time away from danger after their two most recent cases. Death, unfortunately, hasn’t got the message that it isn’t welcome to join them.

Now, as William Wordsworth’s opus goes missing, and disappearances and a murder follow in quick succession, Dora and Jacob are forced to abandon their holiday and use their unique skills to track down a reckless killer intent on destroying the Romantic poets and all they stand for… 


The Wordsworth Key offered another fun adventure for Dora and Jacob. This perhaps wasn't my favourite in the series so far, but it was still enjoyable, the plot entertaining, the action also advancing the relationship between the main characters and some of their family members. Everything moved at a good pace, which encouraged me to keep turning the pages, and it ended in a satisfying manner. I can't dwell too much on the plot to avoid spoilers, but a good few historical literary figures make an appearance. I am giving it 4 stars, and I hope we will have another mystery for the duo to solve soon.

I received this book as a free eBook ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
