I am enjoying getting to know Charles Lennox, amateur detective. He is on another murder case at the request of his long time friend, Lady Grey. I wonder, if in up coming novels, Charles and Lady Grey become more than friends. I must read on!!
This is the first in the series but Mr. Finch wrote to prequels later in the series, one of which I have read. Very enjoyable.
Goodreads summary:
One of Jane's former servants, Prudence Smith, is dead -- an apparent suicide. But Lenox suspects something far more sinister: murder, by a rare and deadly poison. The house where the girl worked is full of suspects, and though Prudence dabbled with the hearts of more than a few men, Lenox is baffled by an elusive lack of motive in the girl's death.
When another body turns up during the London season's most fashionable ball, Lenox must untangle a web of loyalties and animosities. Was it jealousy that killed Prudence? Or was it something else entirely, something that Lenox alone can uncover before the killer strikes again -- disturbingly close to home?
