Some Danger Involved (Barker & Llewelyn, Bk 1)
GainesvilleGirl avatar reviewed on + 215 more book reviews


A Victorian era book which takes place in gaslit London, and whose protagonist is assistant to the highly regarded and extremely quirky, private investigator, Cyrus Barker. This story particularly intrigued me because of its connection with London's community of orthodox Jews. When one of their rabbinical students is murdered in a "biblical way," they turn to Cyrus Barker and his young assistant, Thomas Llewelyn for help.
Good story plot!
Surprising ending!
