What Angels Fear by C.S. Harris

5.0

It took so long to get this book from the library, there were so many holds for a book that's 15 years old. But now I see why, this book has everything - Regency England, a gentleman- St Cyr - accused of a hideous crime who has to prove his innocence who just happens to have heightened hearing and vision (like a superhero! but turns out it's genetic as the author explains at the end), lots and lots of action, and a street urchin turned assistant. This book takes place when Mad King George is about to lose his power to his son Prinny and the Whigs and Tories are fighting to gain control which is part of the reason everyone want St Cyr to be found guilty. I wanted to read this book slow so I could savor it but at the same time wanted to read it fast so I could find out what was going to happen next. Now I know when I get the next one in the series to not start it until I have plenty of time!
