Although I read a lot of historical mysteries, I wasn't so sure I would like one in the British Georgian period. Boy, was I wrong. Robert Fairfax, whose family went from prominence to disaster, placing him for a while in Debtor's prison, is now the tutor to the son of a wealthy father. Their trip to London for the "Season" quickly goes very wrong.

How Fairfax works to investigate a murder in a sea of corruption really intrigued me. Hannah March, whose real name is Tim Wilson, leads you down so many roads where experienced mystery readers are likely to say, "Oh, this is what is going to happen," only to be proven wrong.

This is the first book in a five-book series.
