This is actually the fifth book in the series (with a novella making an additional story) of mysteries featuring Captain Lacey - and a thoroughly enjoyable series it has been too! The books are well written with myserties that you can follow but are full of twists and turns and red herrings. There is also a great cast of recurring characters in support. The mysteries are set in Regency England, mainly in London. If you enjoyed any of CS Harris' Sebastian St Cyr books I think you will also enjoy the Captain Lacey mysteries.

My only regret is that I've read my way through the series so far and that the next book is not yet available in a Kindle edition, as it promises to tie up some of the issues in Gabriel's personal life that have come to light over the series! Anyone looking to download these books onto their Kindle is also getting a bargain as the price is fantastic!

"I’m always in the mood for a good mystery and Vanishing Falls not only delivers a great one, but a narrator with mysteries of her own—all set in the lush landscape of Tasmania (a place I’ve never visited but now feel as if I had)!"

"Kurosawa’s being one of the essential masters is best represented by these, his most operatic, pessimistic, and visually spectacular films. Try and guess which is which. How he managed to be both exuberant and elegant at the same time will be one of life’s great mysteries."

Good book

A very interesting read. I read a lot of mysteries, and this one kept you guessing till pretty much the end. Which is how i like them. The only reason 4 in stead of 5 stars is because, it did lack a cohesive emotion thought process.
