Critic reviews

"Agatha Christie meets Patrick O'Brian in Finchs accomplished fifth whodunit set in Victorian England, the best in the series to date." ( Publishers Weekly)

A most enjoyable series which entertain usually with mystery and culture, but this book was far more. It was almost two adventures in one. The experience of a Victorian naval cruise from London to Egypt with deaths to explore was a full tale. Then the political and economic concerns of the new canal added more responsibility to our hero. Well done!

The best yet!

I've been listening to the Charles Lennox series in order. Like them all but this may be the best. Great story a bit of history and seamanship.
The swimming part maybe a bit overdone.

I loved this book. The change of environs was interesting and stimulating. Research needed to bring this to life was SO WORTH IT. The book can stand alone, anyone interested in sea stories will enjoy it. I kind of hate to go back to London and pick up his life in Parliament again. Maybe Charles will learn to love it and maybe I will too. But the truth is, I'm pretty turned off with politics these days. Instead of continuing the series I just picked up "Vanishing Man", a prequel which follows "Woman in the Water".
