A Beautiful Blue Death by Charles Finch

3.0

Very interesting setting; London in the mid 18th century. Lots of details about food and clothing and the life of the idle rich. Lenox is a detective just because he likes it and is good at it. This plot is more than a little convoluted, but interesting. There have been thefts from the mint, so a lot of gold is being stored in a private home, guarded and protected. A housemaid in that house is poisoned... by whom? why? And there's another murder... by whom? why? All solved.
