There is a lot of emphasis on the main characters emotions and angst which dragged the plot a bit. ( ) 1.5 stars A minister (reverend? clergy of some sort) is murdered. A woman named Charlotte (?) has been looking after (in a way) two boys and trying to teach them to speak “the King’s English”, as well as some manners. A second murder happens partway through. There is some society called “The Ancients”. Second book in a row where I was not interested enough to really pay attention to what was going on nor did I really care. I was curious about the two boys, but it wasn’t enough to know what happened in the book. This is the first in a series and I obviously won’t continue. This is a solid, well-crafted murder mystery set in Regency London. It’s filled with the kind of historical detail that places it firmly in the time period and its gritty atmosphere gives it a Sherlock Holmes-ish vibe. I liked that the two main characters were from opposite ends of the era's rigid class system which added an undercurrent of tension to their efforts at forming a working relationship. Could there be a little romance in their future? I think I’ll read on and find out. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
