Who Speaks for the Damned by C.S. Harris
5.0
When Nicholas Hayes is murdered with a sickle in his back, Sebastian St Cyr is called to investigate the case. Among the odd facts surrounding the death is that Hayes was sentenced to life in Botany Bay and supposedly died there, so he shouldn't be in England. Also, what happened to the young boy Ji who accompanied him? It's up to Sebastian and his wife Hero to uncover the many mysteries behind Hayes's death.
I've read every one of the books in this series. Each new book is a revelation. I always think I know who the murderer is and I'm always wrong. The complex misdirection has me hooked. It doesn't hurt that the historic background is so good; the author takes particular pains to get that right and I appreciate her efforts. The relationship between Sebastian and Hero just gets better and better. I wait every year for the next book and it doesn't disappoint.
