Over the past few years I have read stories of British detectives written from an interesting angle---that of American authors. Many of the well-known, and some unknown or forgotten in our time, British mystery authors do such a great job I sometimes wonder if the American authors are simply writing about British detectives with a sense of envy---wishing they were British.

Fortunately, a number of these American authors have done a great job too, and Will Thomas is one of them. "Some Danger Involved" is a wonderfully engaging story about a veteran British detective hiring a new assistant and the assistant's introduction to a new aspect of "London' society. In fact, the tale of his initiation is so enjoyable that discovering who the murderer is was almost a disappointment.
