The September Society<\/a><\/em> (2008) Charles Finch<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Charles Lennox is visited by Lady Anabelle, a widow who is worried that something terrible has happened to her son. Lennox considered brushing her off politely until she tells him she found a murdered cat in her son’s rooms at Oxford. <\/p>\n

Lennox is actually looking forward to taking on this case, as he himself went to school in Oxford, and would not minding the campus again. Unfortunately, the continued absence of George, and the strange circumstance of his disappearance are cause for concern, and a mysterious group called “The September Society” seems to be at the heart of the matter.<\/p>\n

I remember liking the first book in this series… no, I take that back. I wasn’t enamored of the first book in this series, so apparently I purchased the second book for Grandmom to read.<\/p>\n

Here’s something on page 12 that particularly annoyed me.<\/p>\n

He looked back across the street towards his brightly lit house ad saw his carriage waiting, the horses occasionally stamping their feet and the driver huddled underneath a thick black coat to keep the rain off, with only a pipe protruding from the coat’s hood, its ember occasionally brightening to orange.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This didn’t strike me as bad, just careless. Why is the bowl of the pipe not filling up with water? And more importantly, how is Lennox seeing into the bowl of the pipe to see the ember burning anyway?<\/p>\n

It’s not terrible, it just bothers me, and little things like this kept throwing me out of the story.<\/p>\n

But, I do believe Grandmom will enjoy it at least, because although it wasn’t terrible, I didn’t care for it any better than the first book.
