Regency period mystery,
This review is from: The Sudbury School Murders (Mystery of Regency England) (Mass Market Paperback)
As the title suggests, the location of this mystery is a public school.
Just after the Napoleonic wars, the central character (an ex-cavalry officer)is finding it hard to adjust to civilian life. He is a rather melancholy, brooding type with a troubled past. Both the plot and the characterdevelopment in the novel are good. There is an interesting cast of supporting characters. On the whole, while it is not exactly a comfort read, it`s warmly recommended for those readers who like a nice mystery with plenty of twists and turns in the plot. Hugo van Dantzig

Finally, an actual mystery!,
By L. J. Roberts - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Sudbury School Murders (Mystery of Regency England) (Mass Market Paperback)
These days, it's not easy to find a true mystery; a murder, clues and a solution. This is just such a book! Captain Lacey is an interesting character, one whose merits are seen and valued by others much more than himself. He is a strong, appealing character with a history and unresolved issues. Lacey is supported by interesting secondary characters an a vivid depiction of the time period. The dialogue is well done; neither so focused on being of the period it slows down ones reading nor so modern as to be anachronistic. The story is involving so that I read it straight through. I very much enjoyed this book but it is best to read the series from the beginning. The good news is that the 5th book is due out June 2006.

Cheers for Captain Lacey,
By J.B. Stanley - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Sudbury School Murders (Mystery of Regency England) (Mass Market Paperback)
This was my first Captain Lacey book, but it certainly won't be my last. I was disappointed when I couldn't get a hold of any more of Rosemary Stevens's charming Beau Brummell mysteries as I enjoy novels set in the Edwardian/Regency/Victorian eras, but Ms. Gardner have provided me with a complex and appealing new hero. I especially enjoy her descriptions of "how the other half live" in the two novels I have read thus far and find her female characters most interesting. I look forward to getting a hold of Lacey's earlier adventures as well as discovering what his future might be with Lady Breckenridge!

Regency Mystery,
By Madeline Armbruster - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Sudbury School Murders (Mystery of Regency England) (Mass Market Paperback)
An excellent continuation of a fine series. The atmosphere of Regency England is believable. While the villain was revealed about the middle of the story, more details of the protagonists past are revealed and a progress is seen in his character. You are left anticipating the next book in the series.
