On any given day in London, all Charles Lenox, Victorian gentleman and armchair explorer, wants to do is relax in his private study with a cup of tea, a roaring fire and a good book. But when his lifelong friend Lady Jane asks for his help, Lenox cannot resist another chance to unravel a mystery, even if it means trudging through the snow to her townhouse next door. One of Jane's former servants, Prudence Smith, is dead - an apparent suicide. But Lenox suspects something far more sinister: murder, by a rare and deadly poison. The house where the girl worked is full of suspects, and though Prudence dabbled with the hearts of more than a few men, Lenox is baffled by an elusive lack of motive in the girl's death. When another body turns up during the London season's most fashionable ball, Lenox must untangle a web of loyalties and animosities. Was it jealousy that killed Prudence? Or was it something else entirely, something that Lenox alone can uncover before the killer strikes again - disturbingly close to home?

Spattering of history thrown in. Kept me interested all throughout. I could picture where the characters were in each situation.
I found myself not wanting it to end.

Victorian Era Murder Mystery
While reading this book I felt like I was transported back to the Victorian Era. All that I was missing was a roaring fire and a fine cigar. The character's are well developed, especially Charles Lennox. A kind of part-time Sherlock Holmes, who uses deductive reasoning to solve a murder by an exotic poison. From the streets of London to the upper class, Mr. Finch takes us on an interesting journey. At only 309 pages this novel moves quite well. There were so many character's involved, it was hard to guess the identity of the murderer and that's what I liked about it. It's not like reading other murder mysterys and after the first few pages, you already know who did it. I have already read the other two books in the series and loved them as well. I can't wait for a fourth. Happy reading!!!
