Product Description

Product Description

When John Rawlings is asked to investigate a secret club and some shady goings-on, he is intrigued. The disreputable Sir Francis Dashwood is believed to be involved, as well as some illustrious members of the British aristocracy. In disguise and accompanied by the ungainly Sam Swann, John befriends Sir Dashwood and gains access to his home and family, including someone from John's past, someone whose exceptional beauty still hypnotizes him. However, evil lurks in hidden corners of Sir Dashwood's opulent home and there seems to be a sinister element behind the infamous Hellfire Club's debaucheries. Is John putting himself and Sam in danger by trying to find out the truth?

4.0 out of 5 stars The Infamous Hellfire Club, 10 Dec 2007
By J. Chippindale (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: DEATH IN HELLFIRE (John Rawlings Mystery) (Hardcover)

Deryn Lake is a pseudonym of a well know historical novelist. Among the books she has written are the popular John Rawlings Mysteries, Death on the Romney Marsh, Death in the Peerless Pool, Death at the Apothecaries' hall, Death at the Devil's Tavern and others. As all her titles are preceded by the word death, this is a pretty good indication regarding the contents of the books and very good historical murder mysteries they are. `Deryn Lake' live near Hastings, in East Sussex

Death in Hellfire is the 12th book in the popular John Rawlings mysteries. When Rawlings is asked to investigate some strange happenings at a secret club he is initially unaware that the club in question is the famous or infamous Hellfire club. A club to which many of the most famous names in Georgian society are members. The club established by Sir Francis Dashwood after his return from a Grand Tour of Europe.

Dashwood had been educated at Eton where he came into contact with William Pitt the elder and he even had connections with Royalty, some of whom were said to frequent the club. Rawlings knew that he would have to move very carefully if he was not to tread on the toes of some of the most important people in London society

In disguise Rawlings manages to befriend Sir Dashwood and weedle his way not only into Dashwood's home, but also gains the friendship of his family including a lady from his own past. But danger lurks for John Rawlings. The Hellfire Club had gained a reputation and there was good reason for that. John was putting his friend Sam Swann and himself in great danger, even more danger than even he realised . . .

1.0 out of 5 stars Death in Helfire, 7 Aug 2009
I obtained this book before reading the 4 reviews. I find it hard to believe these reviews are about Death in Hellfire. The plot making is simplistic in the extreme, and there seems little attempt to make the characters more than 1 dimensional. I struggled to page 55, and gave up, just skipped through the rest. As for historical accuracy, well the most glaring error I spotted in those first 55 pages, was in the description of the Apothecary arriving at his shop, putting on the kettle, and making tea for himself and 2 apprentices. In 1767, the tax on tea was 119%, it was served mostly as an afternoon and evening beverage. It cost 1/3 of the average weekly wage for a pound of it. I very much doubt a business man would have given cups of it to his indentured employees. I definitely will not be reading anymore of this stuff.
