What Angels Fear by C.S. Harris

5.0

I have had this series and author on my WWBL for a long while. Finally uploaded the first in series to the Nook thanks to a deal from BookBub and read it. I can only stay up so long to read when a book is on the Nook, that's why it took so long to read. It would have likely been a couple of days at most if in another format.
The atmosphere is set and the suspense is palpable. I really like Sebastian St. Cyr. He acts like a ne'er-do-well, but is really pretty decent. He's intelligent, a bit caustic, a ladies' man and wealthy.
He has the ability to blend in where needed, so I can see comparisons to Sherlock Holmes, but this has a different feel. Sebastian has to investigate since he is accused of murder. I want to see how he gets drawn in for the rest of the series.
This book sets up what looks to be an excellent series and I look forward to seeing Sebastian's adventures.
I can absolutely recommend this book.
