A Drop of Corruption is the outstanding sequel to The Tainted Cup. Readers return to investigators Ana and Din as they are summoned to an impossible locked room murder. Watching Ana and Din work together to solve mysteries is such a delight. I loved how we learned more about them both during this tricky mystery. Malo was a new character who I really enjoyed getting to know as she helped them untangle the murder. I am in awe of how Robert Jackson Bennett creates these enthralling mysteries that have you holding your breath right up until the last page! I also loved the rich world-building and politics of this world.

Readers who love complex fantasy mysteries, entertaining characters, and excellent magic systems will devour this series.

Thank you so much to Robert Jackson Bennett, Del Rey and NetGalley for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.
