Fatal Enquiry by Will Thomas

vkemp's review against another edition

4.0

The best part of a Barker and Llewelyn novel is the sense of time and place. These books are firmly set in Victorian London and these men are products of their time. Thomas Llewelyn is a failed scholar, once imprisoned for stealing and Cyrus Barker is a private enquiry agent with a mysterious past in the exotic Far East. Sebastian Nightwine, Barker's mortal enemy, appears in London, under the protection of the Crown. Barker is frustrated by Nightwine's ability to pull the wool over everyone's eyes. Nightwine is accompanied by his daughter, Sofia Ilyanova, a beautiful girl he has trained to be an assassin. The battle is engaged. We learn a lot more about Barker's mysterious past, including the fact he has a brother. I hope I don't have to wait quite so long for the next installment.

It was another enjoyable tale but not as good as some, but better than others. Saw some plot twists coming, others were surprises. Overall a good read, not spectacular but definitely entertaining. Cheers
