I love his books and was surprised that this one wasn’t working but really disliked the family at the center of this and decided to set it aside.

The fourteenth installment in the historical fiction Lord Edgington series. The wife of a government official disappears and is believed murdered. Lord Edington and Chrissy are asked to solve the crime, but when they arrive at Silent Pool all of the suspects start to be murdered. Can Lord Edgington find the killer before everyone dies? This was an interesting plot and the ending was different from the expected "wrapped up in a tidy way." Fans of the series will enjoy this book.

1928 August Patience Hindmarsh has gone missing but it is not until 22 days later that her husband M.P. Abraham Hindmarsh allows the police with Lord Edgington to investigate. But how many more people have to die before they capture the murderer.
An entertaining and well-written historical mystery with its likeable characters.
