I had completely forgotten about that! Just checked and yes, a little boy called Moses. Also, the Mammy Walsh book had Claire’s children in a different order - Kate, then Luka then Francesca was the youngest, but in Again, Rachel Francesca is older than Luka.

I could have sworn Rachel had a little boy in one of the other books but obviously wrong. I guessed the baby storyline early but it did still make me tear up.

She did! It was mentioned in ‘Mammy Walsh’s A-Z of the Walsh Family’, which was a mini e-book thing that came out around the same time as The Mystery of Mercy Close. Marian must either have forgotten about it or decided it wasn’t canon!

I loved it. I don’t think there was much I didn’t like. I loved seeing all the sisters again. I also liked the new set of characters in the cloisters. And I was very glad Rachel ended up with Luke again.

I do agree that Helen wanting a baby doesn’t really fit her character though!

Just finished (how nice to spend 2 nights just reading a book!)

I enjoyed it a lot. Never going to be as enjoyable as the first but better than I expected.

I could have sworn Rachel had a little boy in one of the other books but obviously wrong. I guessed the baby storyline early but it did still make me tear up.

Quin reminded me of some of the men in her other books if slightly less offensive. Didn't get the appeal.

Loved that she was still friends with Bridgit. I always wanted them to remain close.

Didn't love the Swinger storyline. Seemed a bit odd.

Finally didn't like Helen being pregnant and Anna not having kids. Didn't seem to match their previous character
