On the eve of the Victorian era, London has a new sleuth . . .

January of 1835 in Brompton, outside of London, ushers in the New Year and adds the age-old desire for an Epiphany celebration. Families dine at their tables whether in abundance or in simple appreciation of even the most meager of a shared meal. Tradition reigns.

Young Charles Dickens is a journalist on the rise at the Evening Chronicle. Invited to dinner at the estate of the newspaper’s co-editor, Charles is smitten with his boss’s daughter, vivacious nineteen-year-old Kate Hogarth. They are having the best of times…..

As dessert is being served, a loud scream is heard coming from the home of Lady Lugoson, the barron’s widow, who lives next door. Charles and Kate pound on their door and gain admittance. They find that Christina Lugoson, the young daughter, has fainted and appears quite ill. Both Charles and Kate remain there while Kate attends to the girl who is burning with fever. Their vigil ends by morning when Christina succombs to this strange attack.

When Charles hears from a colleague of a very similar mysterious death a year ago to the date, also a young woman, he begins to suspect poisoning and feels compelled to investigate. The lovely Kate offers to help-using her social position to gain access to the members of the upper crust, now suspects in a murder. If Charles can find justice for the victims, it will be a far, far better thing than he has ever done. But with a twist or two in this most peculiar case, he and Kate may be in for the worst of times . . .

A reader’s comment….”I loved that the mystery was reasonably complex, and the author had you attempting to guess the outcome until the very end. I may have had a few late nights in my desperation to find out whodunit.

Additionally, in regards to the audio narration, I felt that Tim Campbell did an outstanding job on this book. I wouldn’t hesitate to listen to more narrated works from him.”
