Expecting another cozy Victorian murder mystery, I was shocked when this book began with a murder more akin to Capote's In Cold Blood. A philosophizing, balloon enthusiast, Lord Danvers involves himself in finding the murderer and stumbles on further secrets of gambling, blackmail, and death. Oh yes, and a little romance. Great book! nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Lord Charles Danvers, still mourning his lost love Charlotte, hopes to escape from his ghosts at the gala coming-of-age celebrations for the son of an old family friend. All is jubilation and proper respectability until the evening is shattered by a brutal murder. The police are quick to point to a quarrelsome farmer, but Danvers has his doubts. Is the real culprit much closer to home? And does Danvers owe the greater loyalty to an old friend or to the truth? Then, Danvers is even more unsettled by the entrance of the alluring Lady Antonia Hoover. The first in the Lord Danvers Investigates series, A Most Inconvenient Death is a Victorian true-crime novel. The Stanfield Hall Murders were the sensation they are portrayed to be and the elaborate coming of age celebrations and the ensuing dramatic trial are all recorded history.

An enjoyable read but would have preferred to read a lot less of Mill's philosophy and the views of the Vicar.
