A Death in the Small Hours

De: Charles Finch

Narrado por: James Langton

Charles Lenox is at the pinnacle of his political career and is a delighted new father. His days of regularly investigating the crimes of Victorian London now some years behind him, he plans a trip to his uncle's estate in the expectation of a few calm weeks. When he arrives in the quiet village of Plumley, however, what greets him is a series of strange vandalisms upon the local shops. Only when a far more serious crime is committed does he begin to understand the great stakes of those events, and the complex and sinister mind that is wreaking fear and suspicion in Plumley. Now, with his protege at his side, the race is on for Lenox to find the culprit before he strikes again.

A charming installment

This book continues the story of Charles Lennox. He and his wife go to the country estate of his uncle so Charles can work on an important speech. Suspicious activities in the area draw his attention away. Sorting through it all, the story provides another glimpse of late 1800s England.

Charles Finch rocks it!

I savor this series by Charles Finch. I'm always disappointed when one ends~~I want the story to go on forever, and cannot wait to download the next. The historical factoids and tidbits of daily English life Charles Finch cleverly incorporates in his books give me a greater understanding of the period.

A splendid take

This is listening pleasure at its best! An exquisitely fine narrator reading a beautifully crafted story of detection, social history, custom, love and politics set in Victorian England. The writing is superb in this series; the reading amplifies it. This tale takes us out of London to the country. Crime happens everywhere. Charles Lenox is the most marvelous sleuth wherever he is, aided, too, by Lady Jane's presence and assisted by his devoted entourage. I do hope Mr. Finch keeps writing for a very long time!
