Product Description
Product Description
Every memory holds forbidden places, places of shame or terror not willingly revisited, sometimes merely a cruel word said in haste and never forgotten, a mean or thoughtless action, but sometimes that memory is a monster, foul murder left untried. The year is 1860 and Inspector Faro has been transported back to one of the darkest moments of his career - the chase of the notorious Macheath across the Scottish border to the Kent countryside. Whilst there, Faro meets an old school friend, Erland Flett, who is working alongside the artist William Morris and the Pre-Raphaelites whose unconventional lifestyle is a startling revelation. Erland is about to marry a beautiful but mysterious young lady, Lena Hamilton. Faro recognises her as the famous Madeleine Smith, accused of murdering her lover, but never convicted. Now Faro realises that he must apprehend Macheath and save his friend from certain death at the hands of the ruthless Miss Smith - and time is running out.

Faro is inept in this story !!, 18 Mar 2011
By Dejah Thoris "Dejah Thoris" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Murder in Paradise (Inspector Faro Mysteries) (Paperback)
**SPOILERS**
I have always enjoyed reading Alanna Knight's books, from her early work in the 1970's through to the Rose McQuinn mysteries, but this book really disappoints.
It is a recent book, but has Inspector Faro recall one of his early cases.
He is on assignment in England and is confronted by several mysteries.
One involves his fear that a friend will be murdered. However, he does absolutely nothing to prevent this from happening. Even when he has evidence in his hands, he lets it go without investigating.
The other mysteries, as he suspects, are all tied together, involving a criminal's convoluted, and often inexplicable, actions. Even though Faro figures it all out, again, he does not take proper action.
Instead of checking out the place he suspects the criminal is hiding, he allows himself to fall into several traps. Then, instead of informing fellow law enforcement officers what he knows, he just sits there, quietly, for days, until he, himself, is nearly killed.
Saving the day is someone who really has no part in the narrative. A very contrived ending.
I thought Inspector Faro is supposed to be a great detective. Why then is he portrayed as being so inept??!!
