Embark on a seafaring murder mystery from Greece to Constantinople with Matthew Fairchild, his loyal dog Oscar Wilde, and Sylvain Verlac, a captivating Parisian Shadowhunter. With thanks to Keighley_Reads for the below review!
A Sea Change is a short novella about one of my favourite characters, Matthew Fairchild. After the devastating ending of Chain of Thorns (Book 3 in The Last Hours series), Matthew has finished his travels and is on his way to reunite with James and Cordelia before attempting to resume his life.
Set aboard a ship, and very much trying to avoid facing reality, Matthew finds himself tangled up in a murder mystery. Of course, not everything is as it seems, and the story slowly unravels into something deeper.
This was such a great read. It’s a novella, so I finished it in one evening, but I absolutely loved getting more of Matthew’s story. I adored that Oscar (his dog!) was on the ship with him, and I loved being introduced to Sylvain, especially for those of us fully invested in Matthew’s happiness and wellbeing ❤️Reading this has made me even more excited for the author’s next series, The Wicked Powers, out in November.
About the Book
Most travellers are running from—or searching for—something. But not Shadowhunter Matthew Fairchild and his loyal golden retriever, Oscar Wilde. No. Matthew is searching for himself aboard the Majestic, a grand 19th century ocean liner sailing from Greece to Constantinople.
Matthew wants nothing more than to mourn the death of a friend and peacefully enjoy his travels before reuniting with his friends James Herondale and Cordelia Carstairs at the London Institute of Shadowhunters—a secret society of angel-blooded humans who protect the mundane world from demons and Downworlders. But that’s interrupted when someone is murdered on the ship—and a vampire Downworlder lurks in the darkness.
Together with Sylvain Verlac, a mysterious and captivating Parisian Shadowhunter with a secret grief of his own, Matthew must find the murderer on the Majestic before death strikes again.
