The Gower Street Detective: Book 3
by M. R. C. Kasasian
The new mystery novel in the evocative Victorian crime series starring the charming March Middleton and the most curmudgeonly private detective in London, Sidney Grice.
Gower Street, London: 1883.
March Middleton is the niece of London's greatest (and most curmudgeonly) private detective, Sidney Grice. March has just discovered a wealthy long-lost relative she never knew she had. When this newest family member meets with a horrible death, March is in the frame for murder?and only Sidney Grice can prove her innocence.
Grice agrees to investigate (for his usual fee) but warns that he is not entirely convinced of her innocence. If he were in her position, he might have been tempted. But the more he uncovers, the more all the clues point to Grice himself...
"Starred Review. The Grand Guignol plot line is leavened with laugh-out-loud passages showcasing both Grice's literalness and disregard for social niceties." - Publishers Weekly
"The third outing in this Victorian series (after The Curse of the House of Foskett) stars a clever, twisty plot and entertaining characters. Not just another Sherlock Holmes pastiche, this series has its own allure that will attract fans of Will Thomas, Alex Grecian, and David Morrell." - Library Journal
"Despite occasionally overworked jokes and a disappointingly abrupt ending, Kasasian (The Curse of the House of Foskett, 2015, etc.) surpasses Grice's first two cases with a bizarre, clever, and constantly surprising whodunit." - Kirkus
"One of the most delightful and original new novels of the year. A series that could well become a cult." - The Daily Mail (UK)
"A well-plotted mystery full of twists and turns, skullduggery, danger, and double-dealing." - Good Book Guide (UK)
