Julie B. (heartinthehighlands) reviewed Finch's second is even better than his first on 11/8/2008 + 54 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 3

I enjoyed the first book in his mystery series, 'A Beautiful Blue Death'. And I liked this second one even more. It takes place in Oxford and you can tell that the author knows and loves the city well. We enjoy watching the friendship/relationship between Charles and Lady Jane develop. The mystery has some surprise twists and turns at the end. These take place in Victorian England and the author gives us lots of interesting information about the times without it's being in any way a dry history. I don't often buy a book when it comes out, but I will probably buy his next one. I don't think I will want to wait in line with a hold on it at the library.
