I loved everything in this Lord Edgington adventure - the mystery, the exploration of London, the wide cast of characters, even the historical ties to The Great War. It was also great to see Chrissy gaining more confidence in his detecting skills. I hope that continues in the next installment of the series!

Nice to catch up with these characters again, but I did find this the weakest of the series so far. Although the conclusion was nicely handled.

Christopher is just trying to make it through his last year of school (he's not sure what he's supposed to do once he graduates) when his grandfather comes to take him out of school. There's been a death and Lord Edgington isn't sure that it was natural. Soon, the two are caught up in the world of the Bright Young Things. Unfortunately, one of the young people that they've befriended also dies, this time it is obviously murder.
Christopher is starting to mature a little bit from the first few books but is still a bit of a prig and more than a little naive yet. I'm enjoying this slow growing up of our main character. The mystery was a little thin but still an enjoyable story.
