The Fleet Street Murders

Charles Lenox Mysteries Series #3

De: Charles Finch

Narrado por: James Langton

It's Christmas, 1866, and amateur sleuth Charles Lenox, recently engaged to his best friend, Lady Jane Grey, is happily celebrating the holiday in his Mayfair townhouse. Across London, however, two journalists have just met with violent deaths - one shot, one throttled. Lenox soon involves himself in the strange case but must leave it behind to go north to Stirrington, where he is running for Parliament. Once there, he gets a further shock when Lady Jane sends him a letter whose contents may threaten their nuptials.

In London, the police apprehend two unlikely and unrelated murder suspects. From the start, Lenox has his doubts; the crimes, he is sure, are tied. But how? Racing back and forth between London and Stirrington, Lenox must negotiate the complexities of crime and politics, not to mention his imperiled engagement. But as the case mounts, Lenox learns that the person behind the murders may be closer to him - and his beloved - than he knows.

"With its vivid evocation of Victorian England and an appealing protagonist, this is a worthy addition to a fine series of historical whodunits." ( Booklist)

One of the better mystery novels I have read.

Any additional comments?

I'll give #4 a go.

Another lovely addition to a very good series.

I neglected to mention the reader in my review of book two, he is very good, soothing and correct in his pronunciation and clear. Bless you, dear reader, and EXCELSIOR!

Reader needs more dramatization

I really like Finch books, but this reader is so dry with a perpetual cadence that literally puts me to sleep while I listen.

I just love this series.

Charles Lenox is a person I feel I know and like very much, as is his valet Graham and his love, Lady Jane. The plot is clever and the reader is so British. Looking forward to downloading the next one.

Great

Another new addition. New and old characters that pull the story along

Sadness, danger, disappointment and happiness all combine together!

Fun in spite of it all

If you don’t mind Americanisms, anachronisms, and using a derrick to hoist your disbelief, it’s light fun. Too bad the narrator has a droopy voice.

Wonderful!

The main characters and their development gets more interesting with each book. The plot is intricate, yet still plausible.
If you like a mystery that is suspenseful enough to hold your attention, but not morbid or vulgar, you will enjoy this series.
The narrator is perfect!

Excellent Plot

The narrator was perfect for the story. Running for Parliament is something Charles has always wanted to do. But politics is a dirty business and he finds himself torn when he is needed to solve a murder.

Best of the best!

This book series is fantastic! Narrator fantastic!
It doesnt get any better! My absolute favorite books on Audible!
