Grecian (The Yard) continues his Victorian-era detective series as he brings back Insp. Walter Day and Sgt. Nevil Hammersmith of the Scotland Yard. In this outing, they have two days to solve the disappearance of several family members in an isolated coal mining village. Accompanied by forensics pioneer Dr. Bernard Kingsley, the men are immersed in a baffling mystery in a community where secrets and superstitions abound. Australian actor Toby Leonard Moore does a good job bringing the characters' regional accents to life.
VERDICT This atmospheric novel is recommended for fans of historical mysteries.
