Fierce Poison by Will Thomas
3.0
Receiving my first introduction to the Barker & Llewelyn series via book thirteen was much less ominous than it sounded at first!
Although I'm sure reading books one through twelve first would have added depth to the characters and settings, I never felt as if I were lacking key details or unable to follow the story. The book has strong Sherlock Holmes parallels, but feels more socially aware than I remember Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's stories being. The variety of settings and characters broadens the scope of the story and makes it come alive. For fans of the historical mystery genre, Fierce Poison will be a winner!
Plus, Antony Ferguson's narration makes the audiobook experience worth a listen.
