Format:Mass Market Paperback
Young nobleman Sebastian St Cyr finds himself framed for the violent murder of a young actress. Urged by his family to flee to continent, instead he goes into hiding in the more disreputable areas of London whilst pursuing his own investigation into the murder, ably aided by a surgeon from his army days, an ex-lover actress and a pick-pocket lad.
Very entertaining, with a good twisty plot and plenty of action. The complex politics of the era make an interesting backdrop and Sebastian St Cyr himself makes a very dashing lead,(if slightly too egalitarian to be a fully convincing Regency nobleman). The murder scene has a certain amount of gore, but nothing you can't skip over if squeamish.

In coming to the end of a series of historical crime novels which I had really enjoyed, I was on the outlook for a replacement. I have found it in the St. Cyr books. I like the period and became genuinely fond of the characters very quickly. Each book in the series has had me enthralled. I could have done with a little less gore - but the other aspects kept me involved and working out the threads which move from book to book.
Because of the latter point, do try to read the books in order.
Well done - a great read.

I have been immersed in the Regency period since the 1970's. If Georgette Heyer created a Regency world all of her own then C S Harris has done the same. Both remained true to the basic mores of the society they portray but each have imprinted them with their own individual stamp.
I love both worlds. C S Harris is a gifted writer who creates believable characters. Sebastian St Cyr is a troubled human being with a tormented past who nevertheless tries his best to do the right thing, frequently endangering his life to bring about justice.
Each new book is eagerly awaited, cleverly crafted and thoroughly enjoyed. I recommend the whole series to you. If you want a Regency with a little twist then these are the books for you.

I had high hopes of this novel, based on the other reviews I have read of it, and the blurb on the jacket. Was I disappointed, well yes and no. Read more
