annarella 's review for:

The Madness of Mercury by Connie di Marco
5.0

I want to start with a confession: I bought this book three years ago and I remember I love it but, being a book hoarder, I usually forgot the titles and thought it was a new one in this series when I asked to join the blog tour.
I was really happy that a new instalment has been added to this series because I love Julia Bonetti and I love this series.
It was a pleasure to re-read it and this are my thought about the story.
This is a well written, action packed and fast paced cozy mystery that kept me on the edge till the end.
Julia is an unusual heroine for the cozy world: she’s a professional astrologer and quite a kick ass heroine, a strong woman who doesn’t crack under pressure and is able to face the harassment and react.
The cast of characters is well thought and lovely. They are fleshed out and relatable, I would be happy to meet them in real life.
The plot is tightly knitted and full of twists and turns. Even if I supposed that Julia was able to overcome her enemies there’s a big surprise at the end and I didn’t see it coming.
I can’t wait to read a new instalment in this series and I hope it will be out soon. It’s an excellent cozy series and I love the unusual setting and the great cast of characters.
A gripping and highly entertaining story, it’s strongly recommended.
Many thanks to Connie di Marco, Partners in Crime for this ARC, all opinions are mine
