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.

In this book Lenox is interested in a double murder he read about in the papers. Two journalists were killed within 5 minutes of each other. When they arrest a man Lenox is certain they have arrested the wrong man but he can´t look into it seriously because he is suddenly whisked off to Stirrington to campaign for a seat for Parliament. He was planning to run after the current seat holder retired but when he suddenly passes away Lenox only has a few weeks to campaign. A lot is going on in London and he yearns to be back but he has to do his best to convince the people of Stirrington that he would look out for their bests interests.

Second of the Lenox books I've read and I've really enjoyed both of them, but this one in particular engaged me. I may go look for another of finches to see if there anymore this good.
