Özet

The sole survivor of his family’s gruesome murder years earlier, poor little Ned Lawton has struggled to put the dark events behind him. So, when a brash New York detective darkens his doorway demanding an interview, the wealthy young gentleman immediately shuts him out. But a rash of murders in America are mirroring of the London killings, and Patrick Kelly knows Ned might be the key to stopping the bloodshed.

Lawton, now called Edmund Sloan, is a wealthy young gentleman and philanthropist. He’s spent most of his life pushing all memories of his old family and that horrific day from his thoughts. Now, a brash, provocative American detective insists he dredge up the past.

Together, Patrick and the unwilling Edmund must uncover the truth of the murders before the killer strikes again, whether it is in New York or London.

As they hunt down secrets from his past, Edmund can’t hide his other secret from the sharp-eyed detective: the attraction he feels for men and the enticing Patrick, in particular.

I couldn’t fault this! Set in Victorian England, wealthy gentleman, Edmund Sloan, is in turn annoyed, intrigued, and finally smitten by brash American detective, Patrick Kelly, when Kelly travels to England to investigate a spate of murders, including the murder of Edmund’s family many years ago. This had echos of EM Forster’s daring novel, Maurice, with both characters having to sort out their feelings in secret in such a repressive society. Nice main characters, an engaging story, and the superb narration all gave the novel a perfect well-mannered Victorian feel.

Well-mannered Victorian mystery / romance!

Summer Devon truly writes fantastic historical romances! In addition to interesting characters and smokin’ hot love scenes, her books always include some darker elements as well. His American Detective is centered around a clever and gruesom murder-mystery plot, and Ms. Devon delves deep into the emotions of Edmund, the main character. It’s fascinating to watch him work through his memories and process the events of his past. Plus, the way the details of the mystery are revealed kept me guessing till the very end.

Of course this is a romance, and these two make a terrific pair. Bash, bold, and self-confident, American detective Patrick Kelly brings out the best in buttoned up Edmund. Watching Patrick’s seduction, and how Edmund slowly unravels, might be the best part of the story.

Performed by Mark James, the audio version is amazing! I’ve always loved his variety of British accents, but I had no idea he could also perform all those American accents as well! He does a phenomenal job infusing multi-layered personalities into these characters, as well as building the tension as the novel mounts to its climax. Well done!
