raehink 's review for:
A Beautiful Blue Death
by Charles Finch
The first in a very promising mystery series set in late-Victorian England. Charles Lenox, a gentleman and amateur detective, endeavors to solve mysteries with the assistance of his good friend Lady Jane. He is also not unwilling to make use of those who are of a different class i.e. servants and street folks.
Though the mystery wasn't too compelling, I did enjoy the characters and their building relationship. I look forward to more in the series. I also liked the "feel" of this mystery (cozy/gentle/classic) and how the author pays tribute to Conan Doyle, Sayers, and Christie in his writing style. A pleasant read.
