Family secrets and murder in Victorian London.
I really enjoyed the first book in this series, and I think that this one exceeds the last in every way. Leo has become a much more 3 dimensional character here as we get to know him more. I love his inner voice, and while I don’t enjoy his inner turmoil, it’s written so well that you can’t help but feel for him. In fact all of the characters are written with care and understanding, so much so that you understand what drives them to act as they do.
This story is based around the murder of a woman in an Anarchists Club. Leo is implicated in the murder, and so feels compelled to try and solve the case. The murdered woman had children, and Leo for the first time, feels parental obligation and affection for them. Rosie, who was in the last book, works with Leo to solve this murder - she’s a great strong female character. A woman who runs a business and brings up her children on her own.
This is a dark story of poverty, family secrets and sibling rivalry in Victorian England. Reeve captures the atmosphere of London and the times so well. I love these stories and I’ll be looking out for more from Leo and Rosie.
Many thanks to The Pigeonhole for another great choice!

An e-mail group Lee joins for local food service companies leads to a murder. As always, the plots if fast moving and the characters are fun.

I think too much is being picked up when you click the link. Try this: http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.com/2013/02/book-review-chocolate-mouse-trap-by.html

I imported this review from Goodreads, and all my reviews there have the html links to my blog. Obviously, that didn't import well over here. sorry about that.

When a home and lifestyle maven is killed in town, Hannah starts investigating to find the killer. Good recipes and great characters keep the pages turning.

Not just an analysis or a rather gruesome murder, but a wider look at the social context of the times and the role of the detective in fact and in fiction.

Personally, I enjoyed this, but thought The Wicked Boy by the same author was even better.
