jjares avatar reviewed on + 3414 more book reviews


Kerry Tombs' stories are wonderfully drawn in a time before CSI and cell phones when ingenuity and hard work solved crimes. Samuel Ravenscroft, a detective in the Whitechapel branch of the Metropolitan Police, has been seconded to the Worcester Cathedral to find a missing librarian (Nicholas Evelyn) and a priceless medieval manuscript.

Before long, there is another body, and the police are stunned that a young mother is killed, leaving her son an orphan. This is an engaging tale with lots of twists and turns.
