It’s sad to see the Bleecker Street Inquiry Agency series come to an end. This has been an interesting departure from the traditional Jen Turano books with the mystery thrown in right up front, but it has been well done and enjoyable. I feel like there are many stories still to be told. That said, this series wrap-up is quite thorough and, in that respect, satisfying for readers who have been wondering about their favorite characters all along. If you haven’t read the series, you really need to know the other characters before beginning with this book. While it is enjoyable on its own, you will get a lot more out of it if you know the full cast of what is, essentially, a reunion show for the series wrapped into an elaborate murder mystery.
For those of us who have read the rest of the series, the mystery of Eunice Holbrooke has been much on our minds as she is obviously not who she seems. This book quickly unravels that mystery for us as a man from her past shows up to bring everything tumbling down around her. As the layers of her widow’s weeds are pulled back, a much different person is revealed than the Eunice we have known to date and the excitement begins.
Arthur Livingston, the man from her past, isn’t the dashing hero we would all like him to be, at least not from the start. It is easy to understand why Eunice wouldn’t rush into his arms and, in fact, once rushed away from him. But, in time, he redeems himself as all good heroes do.
Along the way, we get a lesson about the conditions of psychiatric asylums when Eunice hides from Arthur by going undercover on a case, learn about the silver industry, travel west to Montana, visit an artist colony, and see multiple beloved characters fall in love. It’s an enjoyable novel that you can spend time with as you revisit old friends and make new ones. The surprise twist at the end will keep you on your toes and the final wrap-up from this beloved series will make you feel warm inside.

Lovely!
To Disguise the Truth was very a wonderful story. I finally found out the backstory on Eunice and it was about time. I loved how her friends from the agency looked out for her when they realized she was uncomfortable around Arthur. Arthur was not a character I immediately liked. He had to seriously grow on me but in the end he did. Overall, this story was exciting, mysterious, had an element of danger, and, at the core of it, was very romantic. It was a great series ending book.
