The year is 1815 and the people of London anxiously await the new about Napoleon. Among those waiting is Sebastian who is frustrated being sidelined from recovering from an injury. But when a corpse surfaces, Sebastian finds himself investigating the murder that threatens one of his dearest friends. With no shortage of suspects, Sebastian delves deep into his friend’s life. Will he be able to solve the murder before the killer comes for him?

This was such a fun mystery. I’ve read several books set in this timeframe lately and am really enjoying. Its such an interesting time-period to me and this book did not disappoint. I really enjoyed learning about the British society and it’s shortcomings. This book is part of a series and I would be interested in reading more not only in this series but by this author. The characters are well developed, and the time is well researched.

Make sure to check this one out April 18th.
