It’s been eight months since the previous novel when Sebastian St. Cyr and Kat Boleyn called off their relationship, and she married Russell Yates. Sebastian has spent those eight months drinking, avoiding his father, and generally checked out. However, when Hero Jarvis witnesses a murder and cover up while doing research on prostitutes and their conditions at the Magdalene House (a home to help “fallen women” back into society), she appeals to Sebastian for his help. Her father, Jarvis, ordered the cover up to protect […]
The Sins of the Fathers
Ask and thou shalt receive! In my review for the previous novel, When God Dies, I stated that I was looking forward to a more straight forward tale of murder that didn’t involve political intrigues, and this one more than delivered! Additionally, little did I know, but Harris was actually setting up this novel in the last novel. In When Gods Die, Lovejoy mentions a young nobleman who was found mutilated in the park, and while I suspected that somehow it would tie in with […]
Double Double Toil and Trouble
First off, I enjoyed this one much more than Equal Rites. While this novel still doesn’t necessarily make me want to go out and read everything Pratchett has ever written, I have added him to my list of fall back authors for when I need a book and have no ideas on what to get. I think the main thing is that sometimes he just drags out jokes/premises a bit longer than they really need to go. Maybe that’s just a sign that I read […]
Between Thor: Ragnarok and Infinity Wars, I Don’t Have Much Patience for Thor as an Evil Villain
I know that quite a few urban fantasy series take a few books to truly find their feet, The Dresden Files being one of the most prominent examples of “stick with it for at least three books, and it will get good.” Books 1 and 2 of this series were fine, though some characters were rather weak, and the main character seemed to have some issues with considering consequences intelligently. However, rather than slowly improving as a series, this novel is actually my least favorite […]
Welsh Legends, Murder and a Useless Regent
It’s been about four months since Sebastian St. Cyr solved the murder case of the previous novel, and while he declined Sir Henry Lovejoy’s request to assist with further murder cases involving the upper classes, he soon finds himself wrapped up in another investigation when a dead body is found in the bedroom of the Prince Regent. The House of Hanover already has popularity issues between the mad King, a violent son and the Prince Regent’s spending habits. Adding the ability to get away with […]
A Murder Mystery Set at the Beginning of the Regency
After Sebastian St. Cyr is arrested for a murder he didn’t commit, and blamed for another potential death, he escapes from custody, and decides the only way to not be executed for murder or spend his life on the run is to clear his name by investigating the murder himself. Fortunately, he worked in intelligence during his time in the Army while fighting Napoleon, so he has skill set that actually comes in handy for this type of investigation. It is 1811, and the murder […]
