Synopsis

Beset on all sides, time is running out: to solve the case, and to save his future...
Harry Probert-Lloyd has inherited the estate of Glanteifi and appointed his assistant John as under-steward. But his true vocation, to be coroner, is under threat. Against his natural instincts, Harry must campaign if he is to be voted as coroner permanently.
On the hustings, Harry and John are called to examine the body of Nicholas Rowland, a pioneering schoolteacher whose death may not be the accident it first appeared. What was Rowland's real relationship with his eccentric patron, Miss Gwatkyn? And why does Harry's rival for the post of coroner deny knowing him?
Harry's determination to uncover the truth threatens to undermine both his campaign and his career.
An unputdownable Victorian historical crime thriller, perfect for fans of D. V. Bishop, Andrew Taylor and Ambrose Parry.

Goodreads review by ancientreader on January 03, 2025

I read this more or less by accident, having somehow missed the fact that it's third in the series -- but as neither the Brooklyn Public Library nor the NY Public Library has ebooks of the first two, I'm glad I took what I could get. Satisfyingly twisty and (judging by the author's note) the mid-19t......more

Harry has only been coroner 10 weeks… he was appointed in None So Blind so I don’t appear to have missed that much by skipping In Two Minds. But Harry is determined to stay in the position but has to be elected (seriously??! Elections to investigate deaths??!) so he’s got to go in the campaign trail......more
