Good, good novel. The primary character, Sebastian St. Cyr, is a complex and fascinating character. While I like him a lot, I had some trouble with his actions as he investigated the murder for which he is blamed. I felt that anyone who had worked intelligence during a war would be much more circumspect in his investigations. Each individual he investigated he blamed for the murder, often confronting them, rather than checking them out more thoroughly first. Certainly the author is well qualified to write about Regency England. She has degrees in the classics and European history and lived in England for years. This is a series to follow and watch the author's progress. Hopefully, she will handle St. Cyr with more finesse in future novels.
