Title: A Beautiful Blue Death Pdf The First Charles Lenox Mystery (Charles Lenox Mysteries)
Author: Charles Finch
Charles Lenox jumps headlong into the detective business to help a friend in need in this enthralling first mystery in the New York Times bestselling series.Charles Lenox, Victorian gentleman and armchair explorer, likes nothing more than to 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 the chance to unravel a mystery.Prudence Smith, one of Jane's former servants, is dead of an apparent suicide. But Lenox suspects something far more sinister: murder, by a rare and deadly poison. The grand house where the girl worked is full of suspects, and though Prue had dabbled with the hearts of more than a few men, Lenox is baffled by the motive for 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 Smith? Or was it something else entirely? And can Lenox find the answer before the killer strikes again this time, disturbingly close to home?*BONUS CONTENT: This edition of A Beautiful Blue Death includes a new introduction from the author and a discussion guide
A fine debut novel I'm a fan of detective fiction set in the 19th century, and having burned through the series of other authors in the genre, was recommended Finch by Amazon. The first in his series, _A Beautiful Blue Death_ has second-son of a minor house, Charles Lennox out of boredom and lacking any "gentlemanly" vocation, acting as an independent detective - in this case, solving the murder of a housemaid.The mystery was solid - while there are many possible suspects, close readers can quickly winnow it down to three characters most likely to have done the deed. The writing is good, although not as strong or as compelling as other writers I am a fan of (Some Danger Involved: A Novel,The Yard (Scotland Yard's Murder Squad),A Death in Vienna,The Sultan's Seal: A Novel (Kamil Pasha Novels (Paperback)).. The interrelationships between characters is well written, reminiscent of Death and the Jubilee (The Lord Francis Powerscourt) but not quite as good in my opinion. The resolution and conclusion was particularly a little trite.For a debut novel, Finch is off to a solid start - although I recommend these other writers ahead of him. I will certainly read more by him on the strength and promise that he will mature in the complexity of his writing and provide some depth and dimension to his characters.Great new series from Charles Finch. This series grabs you from the beginning and takes you along for a great ride. This being the first in the series, you won't be long before you're reading/ordering the rest.it is what it is x
