The second book in the Lucas Rathbone series was a fast paced read with storylines that kept you turning the pages. This book followed all the main characters from the first book as Tommy sends Lucas and Henry on a wild goose chase after a presumably missing Clara. As the three figure out that Tommy had orchestrated this, they turn their anger and confusion to him.
With a little help from a ghost named Sir Monty, we learn a lot about Tommy's past. He was orphaned after being found with his mother's body. Her murderer, roaming free. This is what shapes this book as Tommy is out for revenge and has planned this for a long time.
We see so many sides of Tommy in this book, it's hard to tell which one is real. He's mean and cruel at times, but never really wants to hurt anyone if he can help it. At the beginning of the book, you'll want to write him off, but by the end, you might actually, dare I say, sympathize with him.
Clara is always charging after him, believing he is good and wants to do the right thing. She wants to save him from himself. Lucas wants to protect Clara from herself, Tommy, and the world. But follows her lead every time. Henry's undying love for both of them, helps up keep them on the straight and narrow.
There are many revelations in this book when it comes to Tommy's life and a cliffhanger at the end to make you immediately want to read the next book in the series.

About the author
Twisty Twisty Twisty
As a fan of Saffron Amatti’s Lucas Rathbone Mystery Series, I know this author loves to serve up delicious plot twists with a side of “I did NOT see that coming!” Amatti did not disappoint in this sixth installment of her psychic murder mystery series. While this review won’t include spoilers, the reader does know from the first sentence that Clara Jenkins, the protagonist’s adventurous girlfriend, is missing. Add to it that he’s forced to join forces with his rival for Clara’s attentions, newspaper man Tommy Kilbourne, and the scene is set for a lot of juicy conflict. But wait, there’s more! Lucas sees ghosts, and one glides onto the scene in the incorporeal form of Sir Monty – a likeable and helpful apparition. Lucas doesn’t usually get so lucky with the latter. Sir Monty’s role in the story also allows the reader to learn important details of Tommy’s backstory – something we need to fully appreciate the characters Amatti is developing throughout her ongoing series. It’s a natural weaving in of critical information and fed to the reader in tasty bites. When I finished the fifth installment in this series (Angel Of Murder), I did not like “nemesis” Tommy Kilbourne. I remember thinking, “oh, Lucas, watch your back!” But author Amatti waved her magic pencil and I found myself lost in Tommy’s world, getting to know the good, the bad, and the ugly – and falling a bit for this troubled and charming man. Amatti knows how to take readers on some surprising emotional journeys. She’ll even twist your heart in a couple of scenes featuring Tommy’s childhood memories. One additional item I’d like to note: The author seemed to dive a little darker in her telling of this tale compared to the previous books in her series. She pulled it off and as a reader, I’d like to see that trend continue! To date, “Betrayal” is my favorite work by Saffron Amatti! The story’s climax and following outcome made sense and brought about a semi-resolution to this latest Lucas Rathbone tale. Why not a full resolution? Because Amatti’s last few sentences of the book found my jaw dropping. Saffron Amatti, you really delivered! I did NOT see that coming – and I loved it! I can’t wait to read how this latest development plays out in book seven!
