Description

On a spring morning in London, 1875, Charles Lenox agrees to take time away from his busy schedule as a Member of Parliament to meet an old protege's client at Charing Cross. But when their cryptic encounter seems to lead, days later, to the murder of an innocuous country squire, this fast favor draws Lenox inexorably back into his old profession. Soon he realizes that, far from concluding the murderer's business, this body is only the first step in a cruel plan, many years in the plotting. Where will he strike next? The answer, Lenox learns with slowly dawning horror, may be at the very heart of England's monarchy.

      • content: Narrator James Langton portrays a smart, debonair, tenderhearted gentleman sleuth who uncovers evil in drawing rooms, public houses, train stations, and even royal bed chambers in Victorian London. Charles Lennox, member of Parliament, former detective, new father, and loyal friend is the consummate upper-class British detective. In a tone of privilege, Langton eloquently delivers Lennox's encounters with blackmail, identity theft, murder, revenge, and intrigue. Langton captures the vocal essence of the ruling class as well as the colorful voices of the working class--train conductors, servants, and barmaids. Listeners will experience the ambiance of Victorian London and hear a baffling plot expertly presented. D.L.G. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award (c) AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine

        September 9, 2013
        A simple favor for a friend turns into much more for Charles Lenox in Finch’s engaging seventh Victorian mystery featuring the former private investigator turned MP (after 2012’s A Death in the Small Hours). While Lenox’s political star is on the rise and he’s happily married, he welcomes the chance to resume sleuthing when his protégé, Lord John Dallington, is unable, due to a cold, to attend a rendezvous with a prospective client who has sent a cryptic note inviting Dallington to meet at a London restaurant. Lenox fills in, but, uncharacteristically, botches the job, failing to recognize in time the client-to-be, a woman later identified as being connected with Buckingham Palace, who flees the restaurant. The mystery gets progressively more complex, with an impersonation and murder, though it’s less clever than Finch’s best. Still, the combination of a simpatico lead and old-fashioned detection will appeal to golden age fans. Agents: Kari Stuart and Jennifer Joel, ICM.
