A Death in the Small Hours by Charles Finch (Book 6)

In Finch’s latest novel featuring Victorian gentleman sleuth and Member of Parliament Charles Lenox, Lenox retreats to rural Somerset to prepare his maiden speech to the House of Commons.

But a series of vandalism in the village arouses his investigative instincts. When the vandalism escalates, Lenox puts speech writing aside to solve the crime.

Finch’s novels are thematically similar to Anne Perry’s well- known mysteries, only less bleak.
