Subtle Blood

Subtle Blood (2021) KJ Charles (Will Darling Adventures #3)

Set in England in 1924

Lord Arthur recently became notorious for the killing of man-about-town Johnnie Cheveley in shocking events at Lord Waring’s ancestral home. No blame was attached to Lord Arthur by the Coroner’s jury.

“They commended him, you shits,” Will growled at the paper.

Some people had strong views on attacking a man from behind. Well, Will did himself, those views being that it was an excellent idea, best done with a blade. He missed the Messer.

“Any light on the horizon?”

“Only that cast by everything on fire.”

“You’re not going to hurt yourself, right?” he said, unsure if he should, unable not to.

“Hurt—? Hardly. Why would I need to with so many people ready to do that for me?”
