Reviews:
This is the first in a series of books about a team of gentlemen who set up a group to tackle wrongdoers in the days before there was an organised police force. If the remainder are up to the same standard then it will be one of the year's highlights in Historical. Set in rural England as opposed to London Society this is the usual entertaining yarn from Mrs Nichols with its blend of mystery, romance and insight into the culture of the times. - Rubcale
This book is set at a time when there was no real police force and follows a man who is hunting his wife's murderers. He becomes involved in a young lady's life following a coach accident in which she loses her memory. I recommend you give it a try - Melanie Wilson.
