As the fog clears, a brutally murdered corpse turns up, caught in the ropes of a barge in the Thames. Ordinarily, this would be a run-of-the-mill incident, but in this particular case, inspector Blackstone quickly realizes he is well and truly out of his depth. The clothes may belong to a poor man, but the face does not; and to Blackstone, the aristocracy are in themselves a mystery whose authority far outweighs his own. Blackstone's horizons are to be widened still further as the investigation leads him to Little Russia, an emigre area where he finds still more people who aren't used to taking the British bobby remotely seriously. Fans of Alan Rustage's Woodend books will find in this brand new series the same ingenious plotting and entertaining turn of phrase. But this time the sharp eye for period detail turns to Victorian London - and a hero who is undeniably a little more of a daredevil.… (mehr)

It's 1897, just weeks prior to the celebration of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. But Charles Smith is running for his life. To no avail. It is now Inspector Sam Blackstone's job to determine who he was, and why was an aristocrat working as a reporter.
A very enjoyable story, with good rounded characters so I am looking forward to the next in the series ( )

This was a very light, easy read, straightforward language, good action and suspense. The characters were a bit caricature-like, however, and I thought that the woman the Inspector got to know was a bit too modern for a Victorian novel. The plot was OK but a bit farcical toward the end. Also, I felt that the motivation for the murder and the aim of the murderer were a bit silly/not credible. A couple of good, unexpected twists and turns added interest, never dreamt who the villains were. Paid less than a dollar for the e-book, so can't complain too much. I enjoyed it enough to try a second one. When I first started reading it I wondered if it was meant to be a juvenile-level book as the writing is so plain and simple but later I felt that this style made the book flow along quickly. ( )
