I really do like this history. I'm a great fan of historical mysteries and do like the Regency period. The main character gets beat up a lot more than I think is necessary, but he always seems to survive no worse for the wear. Ashley Gardner's stories are good and the endings are always a surprise. I hope she will continue this series as I greatly enjoy it.

I came upon the Captain Lacy series quite by accident. I have been hooked! I can't put them down. I have read every one and I am hungry for more. I certainly do hope that Ashley Gardner has more on tap. The background of 1817 London is so interesting and the way Lacey meets and solves the mysteries is absorbing and exciting.

I love Captain Lacey and Ashley Gardner makes him seem so real. I ache with him because of his leg and route for him in finding happiness. The entire series is well worth the time.

I thought I had this one figured out but I was wrong. It kept me guessing to the end. These are a great break from typical romance novels. Highly recommended.

Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.Injured during the Peninsular Campaign, Captain Gabriel Lacey returns to England where he solved two murder cases due to curiosity. A Bow Street runner, his former sergeant, calls upon Lacey to identify the body who he thinks is his neighbor Marianne; Lacey rushes to the Thames River where the corpse was found, but she is not his neighbor although she wears a ring given to her by an aristocrat. Lacey takes the ring to his friend Grenville who knows everyone important and learns from the man that the ring belongs to Lord Barbury.................................. Since Lord Barbury is a visitor at Grenville¿s home, he introduces the two men to one another. Barbury admits that he gave the ring to his lover Mrs. Chapman, wife of a barrister. Lacey¿s curiosity keeps him investigating Mrs. Chapman¿s death with the trail leading to the GLASS HOUSE, a vile bawdy place where anything is for sale. Apparently the victim had a room there where she met Barbury; they also had trysts at the home of another man. As Lacey continues to search for clues, two more homicides connected to his case occur and now even he could become the next victim.......................... When one thinks of honor, Captain Lacey comes to mind as he helps a child escape the horrors of the Glass House and stubbornly seeks to find a killer of a woman he never met. The villain is innocuous and unassuming so that the audience will never guess though afterward would nod in agreement that the culprit was obvious. That and the hero is why this is an exciting Regency mystery that also captures the ambience of the era................................ Harriet Klausner
