Diana's Altar

fullDescription

Cambridge, October 1933. Inside the old All Hallows Church on All Hallows' Eve, Doctor Adelaide Hartest witnesses the final moments of a dying stranger. Despite the dagger plunged into the stranger's chest and his last-minute confession, the death is ruled a suicide. The victim, it is revealed, is known to Scotland Yard, and Assistant Commissioner Joe Sandilands is sent up from London to investigate. Thrown into a deadly ring of cloak-and-dagger politics and high-society hedonism, Sandilands must uncover the truth before the Hellfire Club, an elite society composed of intelligentsia and aristocrats, topples the institutions and harms the people he has sworn to protect-especially one he has come to truly love.

     Cleverly's uneven 13th whodunit featuring Scotland Yard Assistant Commissioner Joe Sandilands (after 2014's Enter Pale Death) opens with a promisingly macabre setup in 1933 Cambridge, England. Dr. Adelaide Hartest enters All Hallows Church with the intent of having a private conversation with God, only to be confronted with a dying man with a knife stuck in his back, who confesses to having stabbed himself before expiring. The dead man is identified as Sir Aidan Mountfitchet, who served in the Great War with Joe, Adelaide's love interest. Joe, who has learned of a "convergence of wealth, privilege, intellect, and evil that could... even bring down the government," confides to Adelaide that he sent Sir Aidan to gather intelligence about Gregory Pertinax, "baronet and all-round bad character." Adelaide informs Joe that she witnessed a second suspicious death that same night at Pertinax's country estate, where she was called to tend to a servant with stomach pains. The plodding plot falls short of Cleverly's best, and Joe uncharacteristically comes across as colorless. Agent: Juliet Burton, Juliet Burton Literary (U.K.).

   • content: When a fellow "of interest to the government" is stabbed in a Cambridge church pew, Detective Joe Sandilands is dispatched to the university town to root about. He discovers the beginning of Cambridge University's pre-WWII struggle with "Red sympathizers" and much else besides. Narrator Steven Crossley voices the story with skill and sympathy, if not with his usual brio. The problem may be that this twelfth book in the series lacks the energy of Cleverly's previous novels, and, therefore, so does the narrator. But he never loses the listener during the plot's twists and turns, which is to be applauded. And he shines with the many character parts, so the bland principals don't really matter.
