This story was brilliantly written with a strong male protagonist with a touch of gentleness underneath. This story like the previous are masterfully woven with intrigue and suspense a plenty

This is book 12 in the Sebastian St. Cyr series and I admit I have not read the previous books but I now want to because I loved this book.

This is very well written and got me hooked from the very beginning.

I highly recommend.

Some reviewers are characterizing C. S. Harris’s Where the Dead Lie, her latest offering in the Regency-era Sebastian St. Cyr series as “grim.” Any feeling human reading about the brutal conditions of children abandoned in a world that preys on their vulnerability cannot help but find the subject matter grim, but Harris manages to temper despair with insightful character development and twisty plot maneuvers that make this an eminently readable and satisfying addition to the series. The need to devour it in one big gulp cost me a few hours of sleep, driven to know how it was going to end for characters I have come to feel strongly about and root for. And it did not disappoint. As is usually her style, loose ends remain at the end of the book (thanks, C. S.) so the next entry cannot come fast enough for this reader. Another stellar St. Cyr story!

A haunting dark new Sebastian St. Cyr mystery from C.S. Harris will leave you guessing whodunit long pass bedtime. Harris plants the reader in dirty underbelly of London 1814 and makes no apology on how life was like back then.

Interesting twist to the murder mystery category this falls into. Author weaves the story into a theme of people who have the means and influence to right wrongs, actually uses everything in their power to accomplish that goal. Felt like I was actually part of the story the author did such a good job.
