With the aid of Lucius Grenville, London's most famous dandy, and Brewster, a ruffian employed by an underworld criminal, Lacey's investigation takes him from the elegant mansions of Grosvenor Square to the squalid lanes of Seven Dials, to houses that practice a highly illegal trade, spelling ruin and possible hanging for those caught within.

James Gillies reading the Captain Lacey series is just sublime! No matter how bad a week I have had, I am instantly cheered when Ashley Gardeners latest installment is released on Audible, every book is as good as the last and I relish in catching up with all the characters! I only wish they could be written and read by James on a weekly basis!

Murder in Grosvenor square
This book had an unusually slow start, taking so much time on the dual.
However, after this the story progressed well.
Another excellent book in the series.
