Story
London, June 1860: When an assassination attempt is made on Queen Victoria, and a petty thief is gruesomely murdered moments later - and only a block away - Chief Detective Inspector Charles Field quickly surmises that these crimes are connected to an even more sinister plot. Was Victoria really the assassin's target? Are those closest to the Crown hiding something? Soon, Field's investigation exposes a shocking conspiracy in which the publication of Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species sets off a string of murders, arson, kidnapping, and the pursuit of a diabolical madman.

As plain-clothes men go, Dangerous Davies looks like a non-starter. The small fry of petty larceny and minor disturbances in the backwaters of north-west London are his daily round. His philosophising Welsh drinking companion Mod, his outsized and unruly dog Kitty, his quarrels with his landlady Mrs Fulljames - none of these bodes well for the efficient solving of crimes and the outwitting of villainy. But Davies is encouraged by his beautiful friend, Jemma, and every so often he stumbles upon something really big.

In the respectable seaside town of Flaxborough, the equally respectable councillor Harold Carobleat is laid to rest. Cause of death: pneumonia. But he is scarcely cold in his coffin before Detective Inspector Purbright, affable and annoyingly polite, must turn out again to examine the death of Carobleat's neighbour, Marcus Gwill, former prop. of the local rag, the Citizen. This time it looks like foul play, unless a surfeit of marshmallows had led the late and rather unlamented Mr Gwill to commit suicide by electrocution. ('Power without responsibility', murmurs Purbright.)

Publisher's Summary
The madness begins when Captain Orange and his three nieces are killed in a carriage accident. The only clues? A tall man seen near the Captain's house, and a broken mirror found in the Captain's breast pocket. Next, Janet Calthorp of King's College, London, tumbles to her death as she makes her way to her lover's bedroom, the victim of a tripwire. The clue? A broken mirror found in said lover's boudoir.
So it is little surprise that, when the dead body of Juan Thomas de Jesus-Lopez is discovered in a ruined lighthouse, the only clue found is a broken mirror. "Mirror, mirror, on the wall," muses Superintendent Lestrade, "who's the guiltiest of them all?" He is to find out.

Lestrade takes off without Sherlock
In yet another spinoff from the Sherlock Holmes classics, MJ Trow has taken the character, Inspector Lestrade of Scotland Yard, and fleshed him out as the main detective in this story. When I got this, I had not realized that it is a book well into a series, so I am not sure what the earlier ones are like, but I have found this one delightful.
In a complicated case, Lestrade, capably joined by Constables Bee, Queux and Adams, tackles murders that lead him to different locales and varying classes of suspects and victims, including the military and royalty. Here he is the star of the stories, though not forgetting his Conan Doyle origins by amusedly saying things like, "the game's afoot." The book is peppered with humor in characters, situations and allusions. I felt a bit uncomfortable in some spots where the author chooses to use what would be considered politically incorrect names for ethnic groups, but suppose it fits the historical time of the story.
This is very well read by the author, who undoubtedly knows best how the story and dialogue was intended to be spoken. Sadly, there were times, especially in the very beginning, where either the narration or audio quality was not as clear as I would have wished. This improves quickly into the book. Because I like to read series in order, I am sorry I didn't listen to the first one first, but if you want a light and amusing homage to Sherlock and the fun of having Lestrade come into his own, I recommend this book!

lestrade is a superintendant now.
Any additional comments?
more puzzling murders for lestrade to solve. a broken mirror is found on the murdered bodies and he has to figure out the connection between the victims and of course who murdered them and why.
as with all the other books it is well written and performed by m.j.trow.
