Another impressive and enthralling investigation by the newest and most original investigating team in town. It’s a bit of a shock to find Blake and Avery back in England after their first case in India; however the underbelly and political manoeuvrings of London snatch your attention from the get go and run off into the back streets with it.
On the surface this is an entirely different tale to ‘The Strangler Vine’, however the wonderfully dynamic interaction between Blake and Avery and the absolutely fascinating historical aspect remain vividly bold and true. The author not only drops you into the middle of the teeming London thoroughfares of mid 19th century England, she encourages all of your senses to partake in this challenging murder investigation.
At one point in this captivating tale Mr Dickens is seen rushing through the streets, and by the end there’s just one thing to say…please Ma’am, we want some more!

Even more fun [than The Strangler Vine]. Delicious stuff. (Financial Times). Published in hardback as The Infidel Stain.
