De: European P. Douglas

Alderman James is back!

Alderman James has left his prestigious civic duties in Dublin behind. Back in his native London, he is savoring the quiet comforts of retirement when a chance encounter with a criminal unexpectedly brings him to the attention of the Bow Street Runners—the fledgling law enforcement body in the capital city.

As James is drawn deeper into a baffling serial murder investigation, what begins as civic duty becomes dangerously personal with every turn. With the aid of Louise Tanner, an intrepid investigative journalist for a popular penny dreadful, he navigates London's shadowy underworld to uncover the truth behind the nocturnal killings terrorizing the city.

In the gaslit streets of London, where fog conceals both mystery and murderer, James must rely on his alderman's wisdom and newfound detective skills to stop a killer before the body count rises further.

London by Night: Detective James Mystery Thrillers, Book 1, my seventeenth read from author European P. Douglas. A well-written, entertaining traditional detective mystery read, very Holmesian in tone, with an intriguing, well-developed main character. 8-hours 59-minutes/300-pages that I read in a single setting. “I received a complementary Audible of this book & aloso own the Kindle copy and am voluntarily leaving a review." The gifting of this book did not affect my opinion of it. I'll be reading more from this author with The Light Beneath the Cauldron (The Alderman James Mystery Thriller Series Book 4) already on my TBR list. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).
