4.0 out of 5 stars The Eighth Book in the John Rawlings Series, 1 April 2008

(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Death at St.James's Palace (A John Rawlings Mystery) (Paperback)

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

For those who read Deryn Lake's excellent Georgian mysteries the character of John Rawlings is now an old and trusted friend and the author's clean writing style makes the pages fly by. The books are good, well researched historical murder mysteries, they are what they are and do not pretend to be anything else. Good escapism for the reader, away from the bumps and grinds of everyday life.

The newly married and soon to be a father, John Rawlings, Apothecary and sometime sleuth is delighted when his friend, John Fielding the famous magistrate, known to one and all as the Blind Beak invites him to be his companion to the investiture at St. James's Palace where Fielding is to be knighted. John knows it will give him a chance to show off his tailor`s latest efforts. One of John's few weaknesses is his love of good clothes. A trait no doubt picked up from his father.

Unfortunately the investiture is marred by the accidental, or so it seems, death of a nobleman, George Goward, who falls down the great staircase. Although the room was crowded, no one actually saw him start to fall as all eyes were awaiting the entrance of the queen. However John Fielding, although blind, his other senses are razor sharp and he believes that the fall was more than just an accident and as he has on occasions before, John Rawlings with the blessing of the Blind Beak sets out to try to solve the mystery of Goward's death.
