This was another great historical mystery novel from C. S. Harris, it had that element that I was looking for and enjoyed the plot of this book. The characters were written well and enjoyed the overall feel of this. I was glad I got to read this and had that element I enjoyed from Sebastian St. Cyr Mystery series. It left me wanting to read more from C. S. Harris and this world.
Readers of C. S. Harris will not be disappointed with this latest book in her Sebastian St Cyr mystery series. The year is 1816 and the story begins with the gruesome death of nobleman Lord Preston Farnsworth, known for his crusade against what he considered to be the root of evil in London society, namely, lower class immorality. In a race against time Sebastian must uncover who committed this and two other murders before his close friend Major Hugh Chandler is hanged for them. The mystery is set against the backdrop of the end of the Napoleonic War and the Year Without A Summer which caused crops to fail and economic chaos. The beauty of a C. S. Harris novel is that the reader with always find great characters, a compelling mystery, and a look at an intriguing piece of British history. The Author Notes at the end of the book are as much fun to read as the story itself. I highly recommend "Who Will Remember" by C. S Harris.
C.S. Harris can do no wrong in my book, and this lovely novel was everything that I have come to expect from her: exquisite historical accuracy, wonderful writing and characters (I adore Sebastian and his little Tiger), and most importantly, the ability to draw you in with an amazing plot that doesn't let up until the final sentence. Book Hangovers are real, and because C.S. Harris is so fantastic, I get one every time I read her books. This is probably a new favorite, as the mystery was very well done. I LOVED IT SO MUCH!!! I can't recommend this series highly enough.
The author’s meticulous attention to historical detail brings the chaotic streets of London to life, immersing you in the sights, sounds, and tensions of the time. The emotional depth woven into the narrative transforms a straightforward murder mystery into a profound reflection on the nature of good and evil. Sebastian St. Cyr stands out as a captivating character whose journey is as gripping as the mystery itself. With its intricate plot and atmospheric setting, this historical mystery is a must-read for fans of the genre. The tension builds to a breathtaking climax, and just when you think you’ve unraveled the mystery, the author throws in a twist that will leave you gasping. This hauntingly beautiful tale will linger with you long after the last page is turned, and I’m thoroughly enjoying this series!
