A Body in Berkeley Square

A Body in Berkeley Square (2005/2011) Ashley Gardner

Set in London in April 1817

The 5th Captain Lacey mystery finds Gabriel Lacey investigating the murder of a young man with whom his former colonel was seen arguing at a ball.

Because Lacey has been at odds with Brandon ever since Brandon attempted to have Lacey murdered, and because Lacey is good friends with Brandon’s wife, this makes for a delicate situation.

Or had he simply been moral because he’d never been tempted? It is easy to reject sin when one has no interest in it.

I rather liked the mystery in this one, and that the characters around Lacey only slowly reveal their secrets.
Rating: 7/10
