This was a light Victorian mystery which was something a bit different from the mysteries I usually read. I can't say I would get "hooked" on this particular mystery genre but did enjoy it. I would read another Charles Finch book though.

Good, easily read and enjoyable. I like the hero - Lenox. He's realistic and thorough. The tale is complex and interesting. The author does reveal the protagonist early through the hero's thought process as he tries to unravel the mystery of the murders of two journalists but the murders don't stop at that point. When a Scotland Yard detective is shot in the back the questions only intensify. Yes, I liked it. The chapters are short, too, which made reading this book a quickly accomplished task for me.
