Who Buries the Dead by C.S. Harris
4.0
I want to thank the publisher for sending this book in return for an honest review, through the Goodreads Giveaway program. I enjoyed reading this book and found it hard to put down once I was halfway through. This book is a tale of historical fiction, which takes place from March 21-31, 1813, London, England. A wealthy plantation owner's body is found, with the severed head a short distance away. The local magistrate calls in Sebastian St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin and Earl of Hendon.
Devlin has a talent for solving murders and does not charge the magistrate.
Devlin's old enemy, former army officer Lord Oliphant, is one of the suspects. Not until the end did I find out the identity of the murderer and it was a surprise. The plot moved along well and the characters were believable. This is book 10 in the series, and I would have enjoyed it more if I had read the previous books in the series, but it read ok as a semi stand alone. I plan to read more of this series. This book is a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
Update September 29, 2017: I passed this book on to family, one of whom liked it so much that he purchased kindle versions of books 1-9.
