5.0 out of 5 stars Murder mystery in the London of Pepys and Wren, 1 Oct 2002
This review is from: The Repentant Rake (A Restoration mystery) (Paperback)
Edward Marston writes with authority and flare about England during the reformation. Set in post Great Fire London, his crime-solving duo of a struggling but definitely upper-crust young architect and down-to earth, puritanical parish watchman, set about finding the murderer of a young, well-born, ne'er-do-well. The hunt for the killer involves those close to the Crown and architect Christopher Redmayne and puritan constable Jonathan Baleman have to enlist the assistance of redmayne's dissolute, courtier brother and his cronies to entrap the villain.

Edward Marston has created, once again, a truly believable version of seventeenth century England and peopled it with solid characters who spring out of the pages of the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Third Book in the Redmayne Series, 12 Mar 2007
By J. Chippindale (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   

Edward Marston is the pseudonym of Keith Miles, a fairly prolific and extremely good writer of mainly Elizabethan and medieval mysteries. He has also written mysteries under his own name with both sporting and golf backgrounds. However it is primarily the books that take place earlier in history that I am interested in. He read modern history at Oxford and has had many jobs, including university lecturer, but fortunately for all his readers, he turned to the writing profession.

After reading one of the author's books, I avidly sought out all the other books by Edward Marston and not a single one has ever disappointed me. They are about a period of history that I love. His Elizabethan theatre series of books were wonderful and he has continued them through from 1988 to 2006. The Domesday series is also a great series and this series of books featuring Christopher Redmayne is equally as good.

Christopher Redmayne, a young and talented architect is gaining a reputation, not only for his accomplishments in the designing of houses, a profession much in demand after the Great Fire of London, but with the assistance of his friend constable Jonathan Bales, a likeable man, but one with strong puritanical beliefs, he is also gaining a reputation as a solver of mysteries. In this story Christopher and Jonathan find themselves on the trail of a murderer, a repentant rake. Following their enquiries through the streets of London, they find not only corruption and intrigue, but also have to avoid attempts on their own lives, as they come closer to the truth.
