Veronica – ☆☆☆☆
When the writer who lives in residence at Hoodoo House dies in questionable circumstances, his editor hires Declan to find the author’s missing laptop containing a manuscript and potential blackmail material.
I was excited to read Hoodoo House to see how a potential romance between Charlie and Declan was going to play out, but it was the mystery at Hoodoo House and a very clever 13-year-old boy named Henry that stole the show. I was surprised by a few of the twists and turns in the mystery and every new revelation had me turning the pages to find out more.
I loved the scenes told from young Henry’s point of view – they were so engaging. It was fun watching his excitement in helping Charlie and Declan while revealing the history and secrets of Hoodoo House. There is a great scene where Henry is left on his own in the house for the first time and it was a blast watching a 13-year-old have a little fun and freedom and get into a little danger.
While working the case, I was happy to get to know more about Declan’s personal life and to see a little romance between him and Charlie, they make a great couple. Hoodoo House was a great story. I can’t wait to see where to next for this pair and to experience more Declan Hunt Mysteries.
