Harper Blaine is back in an unusual and compelling mystery Underground, that takes Harper on a new case for an old friend that runs a gauntlet of action and circumstances usually seen on The X-Files. Between pagan gods, Prohibition and government conspiracies, the adventure in this installment is well conceived and delivered with Kat Richardson's trademark âtelling detailsâ that get a reaction from the reader every time. An aspect of Richardson's writing that I enjoy is her love for Seattle, and in Underground, she takes us through a historic lens of Seattle that touches on less known history as well as a nod to the more modern grunge era and in so doing, provides the reader with a tangible contextual feeling for the area. In Underground, we also see a welcome return to the development of the series as a whole as we revisit supporting characters and their lives as they become further entwined with Harper's adventures and we start to see the effects of earlier events on Harper and her friends in unexpected ways.

I really enjoyed this book and I look forward to reading the next installment in the series.
