Why Mermaids Sing is the third book in the Sebastian St. Cyr historical mystery series. The book opens with the murder of a young man from a prominent family. The murder scene is eerily similar to two other recent murders, but there is no obvious connection between the victims. Once again Detective Henry Lovejoy calls on the Viscount Devlin (Sebastian) to assist him with the investigation. He soon discovers that although the victims don't know each other, their fathers all share a secret so dark that they are unwilling to share even to protect their sons. A secret they will do anything to protect. So far, this has been my favorite mystery in the series. It really explores human nature and the lengths people will go to for survival.
I would recommend reading the series in order. While the mysteries are all separate, the characters and their relationships keep evolving. There are unexpected twists as learn more about Sebastian and Kat's pasts
