A Sunless Sea by Anne Perry

5.0

A Sunless Sea by Anne Perry is 18/24 in her William Monk series about a Victorian detective. This novel is set in 1864 with Monk in command of the Thames River Police. The tale begins with the brutal murder of Zenia Gadney. This unfortunate woman is connected to Dr. Joel Lambourn who was campaigning against opium before he was found dead by suicide. Eventually, his wife, Dinah Lambourn, is arrested for Zenia’s murder. Together with his wife Hester and lawyer friend, Sir Oliver Rathbone, he tries to save Dinah from the gallows. A historical mystery with many surprising twists and turns.

A historical Victorian mystery where little is as it appears.
