This series is inspired by a book written by Kate Summerscale. Whicher offers to help a country lady find her niece and he’s drawn into a disturbing case of murder. He finds himself up against wealthy and powerful figures. It also throws him into conflict with his former police colleagues.
Susan Spencer’s niece Mary is found stabbed outside of a rough tavern in London. This causes her to go into labor and she delivers a baby boy but she dies. Whicher has several items to solve involving this crime. Who is the baby’s father? Where is the baby? Who killed Mary? Where was she living before she was killed? She was wearing a valuable necklace with gemstones and that is missing? Who took the necklace and is it the murderer? I thought this was very interesting and the social and living conditions of this time period are not at all like our time period.
