I grabbed a book by this author, this series and it turned out to be graphic and gross and depressing as heck. But I thought I liked the actual story, the English cop solving mysteries. I mean, it is one of my favorite genres. So I grabbed a different tale. Yes, much better.

I really liked the main character, Keen Dunliffe, and his relationship with his assistant detective/suspect/sort of love ineterest Jillie Waltham. The plot as a whole though, was kind of odd--it's like she was trying to cram two completely different mysteries into one book.
One was historical based, involving secrets about the British monarchy, dating from the time of George III. (Kind of like several other mysteries I've read recently--involving secrets hidden for centuries, etc). The second plot is about some bizarre sexual activity at a brothel named Dungeons and Dragons. The point where the two plots collide seemed a little farfetched, and not too clearly resolved at the end.
But I think I'd give this author another shot, I really liked the characters--more complex than in your typical mysteries.
