Özet

The Earl of Wrexford possesses a brilliant scientific mind, but boredom and pride lead him to reckless behavior. He does not suffer fools gladly. So when pompous, pious Reverend Josiah Holworthy publicly condemns him for debauchery, Wrexford unsheathes his rapier-sharp wit and strikes back. As their war of words escalates, London's most popular satirical cartoonist, A. J. Quill, skewers them both. But then the clergyman is found slain in a church - his face burned by chemicals, his throat slashed ear to ear - and Wrexford finds himself the chief suspect.

An artist in her own right, Charlotte Sloane has secretly slipped into the persona of her late husband, using his nom de plume, A. J. Quill. When Wrexford discovers her true identity, she fears it will be her undoing. But he has a proposal - use her sources to unveil the clergyman's clandestine involvement in questionable scientific practices and unmask the real murderer. Soon Lord Wrexford and the mysterious Mrs. Sloane plunge into a dangerous shadow world hidden among London's intellectual enclaves to trap a cunning adversary - before they fall victim to the next experiment in villainy.

I just wish that American authors who set a story in England would do a course in British English before starting out. The story itself was not terribly original or surprising but then it was in the Plus catalogue so I suppose 'beggars can't be CHOOSERS'.

A good story which I enjoyed while doing a bit of gardening. I liked the main female character and the little boys. I'll read the next one and see how it goes as I've read better murder mysteries set in Regency England. Like other readers I found some of the expressions out of place and annoying. Please can someone tell the author its Beggars cant be Choosers. NOT CHOOSY. That was repeated a number of times and I began to grind my teeth in the end.
I liked the narrator.

A good story.

Ok for doing the ironing or making jam - something a bit mind numbing - tedious people doing dastardly things - nicely read. But so badly written; repetitive, clichéd, anachronistic (mano a mano) - posh people supported by feisty woman and golden-hearted urchins. Not for me.

Mediocre

The whole package works well for me. Worth a listen, remind me of a Sherlock Holmes, all be it not the same.

very enjoyable
