This is the first novel I've read by Charles Finch and I quite enjoyed it.
Charles Lenox is a newly minted MP, and a new groom. When he and his wife, Lady Jane return from their honeymoon, Lenox is approached by a friend and fellow MP to investigate a murder that happened behind his home. The victim is a footman, but within a short time, the MP is asking that Lenox (an amateur detective and his aide Dallington) stop their investigation and let Scotland Yard handle it. This only puts Lenox to further his investigations. Confusing clues are put in his path, especially when the MP is attacked with a knife in the same area where his footman was murdered, and shortly afterwards, Lenox is in turn attacked in the same manner that the footman was. Read on!
It was a light read, but worth adding this author to my list of future reads.
