![]() This is the first of, to date, eight in a series of Captain Lacey mysteries, and yet again, it’s another Kindle cheap buy – I’m having great difficulty resisting the recommendations list when the book is a bargain and it’s got good reviews – which this one has. What on earth is the Puzzle Doctor, reviewer of novels of mystery and mayhem, doing reading a book with a cover like that? Can Lacey get to the bottom of the mystery? Or will he end up at the bottom of the river?īut of course, we are missing the most important question. On investigating, he comes across tales of other missing girls, but not before Horne is brutally murdered in his home. It seems that the girl disappeared weeks previously, but she had been sighted apparently entering the house in question, the home of Horne, a Member of Parliament. Captain Gabriel Lacey, wounded in the Peninsular Wars – those blasted Frenchies again – stumbles upon the beginnings of a riot outside number 22 Hanover Square, where a man is demanding the return of his daughter. ![]()
