Publisher Description
On a cold January night in 1817, I am summoned by a Bow Street Runner to the banks of the Thames to identify the body of a young woman. It turns out I do not know her, but discover that she is the wife of a Middle Temple barrister, as well as dear to one of Grenville's friends, who begs me to find out who killed her.
My search for the murderer takes me to Whitechapel and a place called The Glass House, a sordid gaming hell that attracts gentlemen of the haut ton and plays a large part in the victim's past.
As I uncover secrets from the highborn and the low, I become drawn deeper into the schemes of the crime lord James Denis and explore my tentative new friendship with Lady Breckenridge.
But someone does not want me to expose the secrets of the Glass House and takes steps to silence me forever.
Customer Reviews
Not as good
I read the previous books and was left wanting more not so much with this one. C. Lacey falls flat, one dimentional and his relationship with the Brandon's annoying and childish. What is it with him and Luiza ..?? the only interesting couple was not even mentioned as it should Grenville and Marianne. The victim what an ugly character. If you can skip this one do it. I will still give a try to the next book since the story does flow easily and I find it hard to find any books lately even remotely interesting.
