I only chanced across the current author purely by accident. I am so glad I did. I am a bit of a bookworm and have been one from a very early age. The genre and the historical period in which these fantastic novels are set very much brings alive an age not so very removed from our own. The attention to detail is highly reward able and precisely correct. You cannot sit down and dash off a work of this sort without first compiling a huge library of facts, fashions, nuances and day to day living habits. This is quite akin to a type of time travel which allows observation without intervention. Or being there alongside the characters without disturbing the flow of events. I can and do thoroughly recommend all his writing which is a consistently high standard. I shall need to read more to obtain a fuller picture. Thank you, the author. Read full review

I have read a lot of this author's books and this was very disappointing. The progress of the story was tedious and the final solutions seem to appear out of nowhere in relation to the rest of the book. Most out of style fopr this author

I enjoy reading these crime books from Edward Marston, they can sometimes appear a bit "samey" but there is always a twist at the end that can catch you. I have read the complete series and am now onto the Home Front Detective Series which are also an enjoyable read.
