Sulari Gentil has written another great mystery novel! Each novel builds on the previous one and each one is better than the last. Gentil had me captivated . with the first of this series but I must say I did not realize how much better they would each get. I look forward to each one and luckily for me there is no wait because the whole series has been written and it is just a matter of having them published in the Unites States.
I will not go into too much detail because I have reviewed this series a number of times here.
Needless to say, Rowland Sinclair and his unusual group of associates, Edna the sculptress, Clyde, the painter and Milton, the plagiarizing poet are now in Britain. Traveling home from Germany they have stopped on the way back to Australia. They run into trouble, when they want to share with people in authority what they have learnt is happening in Germany.
A body is found and Rowland is there when the young girl who discovers the body needs to be taken home. Ever the chivalrous gentleman he gets involved in trying to find the real killer so this young girl will not spend too much time as the accused killer.
Gentil wraps her story around the history of what was happening in the world in 1933. Bringing in many real events; The London Economic Conference, and so many real people, some of them very scandalous, including; H.G. Wells, Winston Churchill, Wallis Simpson, Josslyn Hay and the author, Evelyn Waugh.
Again I say these books are a wonderful way to while away some time lost in the past and enjoying the scandals of this historic moment.
