Synopsis

Death descends on the New Forest . . .

It is Spring 1871 when Lizzie Ross accompanies her formidable Aunt Parry on a restorative trip to the south coast. Lizzie's husband, Ben, is kept busy at Scotland Yard and urges his wife to stay out of harm's way.

But when Lizzie and her aunt are invited to dine with other guests at the home of wealthy landowner Sir Henry Meager, and he is found shot dead in his bed the next morning, no one feels safe.

Lizzie suspects that Sir Henry had a number of bitter enemies, many of whom might have wanted him dead. Once Ben arrives to help with the investigation, he and Lizzie must work together to expose Sir Henry's darkest secrets, and a ruthless killer intent on revenge . . .

This is the second Ben Ross I’ve read and I really enjoyed it. Without being “foresoothly”, the dialogue is suitable to the time and place and the people speaking.

Février 2024. C’est un réel bonheur de me plonger à nouveau dans une aventure de Lizzie et Ben Martin. Le scénario —très classique, il faut bien le dire— est fluide et ne manque pas d’humour.
