    Honestly, I was a bit underwhelmed with the first book of the series, but I felt very hopeful after the second book. I can say now that Murder at the Mikado, the third, and latest, book in the series, did not disappoint! Full of suspense, intrigue, and secrets, it held my attention until the very end, and lacked the things that irritated me in the earlier books of the series.

    Set in late 1932, Drew and Madelines wedding preparations are under way, and they have settled into a happy life in Farthering St. John with Aunt Ruth. But when a secret from Drews past is revealed, it threatens to destroy their future. Can Drew, Madeline, and Nick unravel the mystery before all is lost? And will Drew and Madeline make it to the altar?

    A little tidbit for lovers of the 1961 Disney film, The Parent Trap: remember when Miss Inch punishes the girls for their unladylike behavior? She quotes Gilbert and Sullivans opera, The Mikado, saying, let the punishment fit the crime. As you can guess, the title of that opera is the source of part of the title of Deerings book. Look for several Gilbert and Sullivan operas to be referenced in Murder at the Mikado.

    My favorite of the Drew Farthering Mysteries so far, Murder at the Mikado is a thrilling mystery sure to please, and I would highly recommend it! I would give Murder at the Mikado an A.

    Drew Fartherings life is finally going as planned. He is engaged to the love of his life Madeline and they are happily planning their pending nuptials, and the best part is the only mysteries to be seen are those on the pages of books. That is, until an old flame from Drews youth shows up in the most unexpected place with a murder hot on her heels. Needless to say, the future Mrs. Farthering is none too happy and Drew plans to stay as far from this fire as possible. But there is more to this case than meets the eye and Drew, Nick and Madeline cant seem to help getting drawn in.



    I havent read many murder mysteries aside Agatha Christie and Nancy Drew when I was younger but Julianna Deering brings back all I loved about the who-done-it genre! Drew and Nick are charming heroes who know how to get things done while still being absolute gentlemen and Madeline always reminds me of Nancy Drew.



    Drew and Madelines love story has been one of my favorites I have read in a while. The dynamic of their relationship continues to be tested and grow throughout the book as they learn more about each other and their past mistakes.



    I wont spoil the mystery but it kept me guessing until the very end and I hope this isnt the last well see from this series. Id recommend this author to any mystery fans!

    It seems almost morbid to so enjoy a mystery revolving around gruesome deaths, and yet I cannot escape the fact that I did enjoy it. Very much. So many suspects to consider. What fun it was to work with Drew once again to solve this mystery. Full Review at my website.

    As always I loved to read this series. These are easy reads and just so good. They still remind me a little of an older Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys type. This one had me crying for a little while also. I received this book from Bethany House for a fair and honest opinion.

    "Murder at the Mikado" by Juianna Deering is the third book in the "detective" Drew Farthering series... and so far has got to be my favorite. Set in 1930's England, the murders take place in a theatre where each of the troupe has a pretty good reason to commit the crimes.

    If you have a chance to read the first two books, "Rules of Murder" and "Death by the Book", I would highly recommend that as you get to really know all the main characters. I love how the author is developing Drew's and Madeline's characters and that they are not perfect people. I appreciated the honesty in their relationship and how past mistakes can come to haunt. I enjoyed the twists and turns in the plot (like the other books), but I must admit to cheering when the killer was caught. (Okay, there is more to it than that but I'm not going to say more so I don't give anything away!)

    Although these books are "Christian" books, they are fabulously not "preachy" but offer a gentle insight into the life and fallibility of believers all while trying to figure out who the killer is...of all things!

    After reading this book, my guess is that, like me, you'll be calling, "Encore! Encore!"
