Marney did a great job of describing Melbourne’s neighbourhoods and distinct “flavour” in the first “Every” novel, and she does the same with London in Every Word. Rachel accompanies her brother’s girlfriend, Alicia, who is useful to the plot not only because of her conveniently-timed trip to London, but also because she serves as a chaperone/guide/friend and sounding-board for Rachel.

She rightly suspects that Mycroft is going to have trouble separating the new case from the similar case of the unsolved murders of his parents years earlier.

Mycroft suddenly takes off to London to help investigate a carjacking case involving an Australian, and Rachel follows close behind. Mycroft, though still a teen, (albeit one who has already solved a murder mystery) now has a job as an assistant in the Forensics Investigations Unit. With hardly a chance to catch their breath, the two soon become embroiled in a new mystery in Every Word. Fearless Rachel and her brilliant, troubled partner Mycroft proved themselves to be an unstoppable investigation team in the first installment of the “Every” series, Every Breath. ISBN 978-1-77049-775-7 (hc.), ISBN 978-1-77049-777-1 (ebook).Įvery Word is Australian writer Ellie Marney’s second novel about Rachel Watts and James Mycroft, two teenagers who offer their own distinctive spin on the original Sherlock Holmes concept.
