Historical Mystery
Date Published: 3/31/13
In 1911, England hovers on the cusp of change. A new king waits to be crowned. Women and the poor are fighting for their rights. Political turmoil rages throughout Europe. And a promising young artist lies dead in the heart of London.
Just another tragic death in a city filled with untimely demises. Or so thinks Hargreaves, the gifted, but troubled, Detective Inspector called in to investigate. Haunted by the tragedy of his own past, he is unprepared for the onslaught of long-buried memories and powerful emotions the case brings. Making his task even more difficult is the troubling presence of Daisy Cartwright, a wealthy widow closely connected to the victim, and a woman he feels inexplicably drawn to.
Untangling the tightly woven threads connecting the victim and the suspects, Hargreaves soon reaches a conclusion, only to have that theory shattered by the revelation that everything he has been led to believe is a lie. Groping through the silence and secrets, he uncovers a cold-blooded killer, and a connection to his own past that leaves him reeling.

I so loved this book. Historical, which I really like. I'm not a history buff, but I feel like by reading Historical Novels I really learn more than I did in school. ; )
I like the fact that the reader is right along with him in connecting the dots and coming to a conclusion. When that all falls apart, things only get more interesting.
Suspenseful with well developed plot and characters, I definitely recommend this to fans of Mystery and/or Historical Novels.
