A Beautiful Blue Death by Charles Finch is the first in his series about Charles Lennox, a Victorian gentleman who enjoys playing the sleuth occasionally when cases are presented to him. This particular case is brought to him by his childhood friend and close neighbour Lady Jane . A former maid of hers has been found dead of an apparent suicide, but it isn’t long before Lennox knows the young woman is a victim of foul play. The mystery itself moves along at a quick pace and has Lennox visiting both the grandest places in London and some of it’s lowest as well. Lennox himself is a likeable, slightly eccentric character that is fun to read about. There were a few other characters that I am hoping will reappear in future episodes. Overall an enjoyable, light read that held my interest and gave me a few giggles along the way.
