The banter among characters is absolutely delightful and it eases the tension of the grizzly parts of the stories. It is a pleasure reading his scenic descriptions as much as delving into the details of the mysteries themselves. Finch writes prose exquisitely with an eye to every detail. Only time will tell.Īs previously mentioned, if you enjoy smartly written historical mysteries, then the Charles Lenox Mystery series may be just the one for you.
Can Lenox solve the murders and hold his agency together. Scotland Yard seeks Lenox's assistance in solving the two murders which continues to strain both office environments. Coincidentally, that same Scotland Yard's inspector suddenly turns up dead and his is quickly followed by another murder - a member of the ton. The press' quotes of comments from Scotland Yard do not ring true to their previously congenial working relationship with the constabulary. The unfavorable press, as of late, has harmed the fledgling agency severely. His minimal number of billable hours causes a bit of friction with at least two of the partners. This story finds our protagonist busy at work assisting Scotland Yard on closing a few tough cases while also participating in a recently established four partner detective agency. Author Charles Finch never fails to amuse, educate and draw his readers down a circuitous path to the mystery's conclusion. This eighth book was yet another delightful installment in the Charles Lenox Mystery series.
