In his third appearance (after The September Society), Charles Lenox, a sleuth whose skills have been likened to Sherlock Holmes, investigates two murdered journalists in 19th-century London. Finch, a young up-and-comer, lives in New York. Copyright 2009 Reed Business Information. - Library Journal Reviews : LJ Reviews 2009 October #1
It is Christmas 1866, and gentleman sleuth Charles Lenox (The September Society; A Beautiful Blue Death) is waging a political campaign for a seat in Parliament. Meanwhile, his fiancée, Lady Jane, wants to postpone their wedding, and then there is the matter of the murders of two journalists and an investigation run amok in the hands of Scotland Yard. VERDICT Unfortunately, the mystery gets buried beneath too many scenes covering Lenox's political aspirations and his interaction with his would-be constituents. However, fans who have fallen under the spell of Finch's storytelling skills will still enjoy this third Victorian series entry. Anne Perry readers may also want to discover Finch.
