Although this is a crime novel, with Holdsworth as the reluctant investigator for hire who finds he must unravel a murder mystery, the best bits of this book are the setting and the characters.
Thank you to Penguin Michael Joseph for sending a copy to the Bookbag. We also have a review of [[The Scent of Death by Andrew Taylor]].
Another historical mystery set in the late 18th century is [[Instruments of Darkness by Imogen Robertson]]. Alison Bruce’s [[Cambridge Blue by Alison Bruce|Cambridge Blue]], Katy Darby's [[The Whores' Asylum by Katy Darby|The Whores' Asylum]] and Emily Winslow’s [[The Whole World by Emily Winslow|The Whole World]] are also set in Cambridge.
