jillrhudy's review of The Lady from Burma: A Sparks & Bainbridge Mystery (Sparks & Bainbridge Mystery, 5) by Allison Montclair

★★★★ "Thank you to Macmillan for the free advanced readers copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. The deep and growing friendship between Gwen Bainbridge and Iris Sparks continues to drive this series, which just keeps getting better with every outing. In "The Lady from Burma," things get very personal for Gwen and Iris must provide vital support. Conspiracy finds its way not only into the Right Start Marriage Bureau, but also into Gwen's ongoing legal battles to be declared sane and regain custody of her son. This book has it all: assumed identities, theft, coverups, romance, and a thrilling denouement. I love two things about this series in particular: the wonderful, often humorous dialogue, and the fact that all of the characters, primary and secondary, are continuously growing and changing."
