This is book three in the Sins of the City series, and it wraps up the thread of mystery that has been running through the previous books. I’m not sure if I can avoid revealing some spoilers from the first two books, and you really need to read the whole series to get full understanding of what is going on. In fact, this one backtracks somewhat to start with, to reveal some of the details from the end of book two. An investigation has been […]
Loving your enemy
This is book two in the Sins of the City series, set in Victorian England and it carries the tale forward that left the reader hanging at the end of the first book. I won’t go into too much detail on that one here, as you can read my review on that one if you’re interested. Nathanial Roy is a former lawyer, now crusading journalist who is helping his friend Clem with some legal battles. In the course of his work, he meets Justin Lazarus, […]
Victorian era sensational mystery
I need to preface this review by saying this was my first foray into an audible book. Audible was offering a free trial month with two books, so I decided to give it a shot and picked out this book along with the next one in the series. I wasn’t sure how I’d like the experience, as I don’t have a long commute and I mostly prefer to read actual books as opposed to Kindle – but it was quite entertaining and it didn’t take […]
Dealing with forbidden desires
This is book 3 in A Society of Gentlemen – it’s the story of Richard Vane, leader of the group of gay men who have always looked up to him for guidance, advice and discreet assistance. His valet, David Cyprian, is the man who Richard has depended on not only to keep his wardrobe in order, but to handle other less savory duties such as blackmail or burglary when necessary. There has always been a simmering of desire between the two men, but Richard has […]
Much Ado About Harry
This is the first book in a series called A Society of Gentlemen, a Regency set trilogy about the lives and loves of a group of young men. The first one is somewhat of a take on My Fair Lady, with Harry Vane being plucked from the gutter to take his place in society as an heir to a fortune. His parents were radical reformists, and died for the cause, leaving Harry on his own. HIs grandfather had disowned Harry’s father for his marriage and his […]
“Of course I’ve got a conscience, he’s sitting right next to me.”
Jonah Pastern is a magician, a liar, a windwalker, a professional thief… which about sums up the character as we met him in ‘A Flight of Magpies’. This book is set shortly after that one and is a linked story to that world. You don’t necessarily have to read the Magpie trilogy to understand this book, but it certainly helps since many of the characters make an appearance here. Based on Jonah’s actions in the previous book, I wasn’t sure he would be a guy […]
