I was looking for a new mystery series to get into, but this book was underwhelming. Prose was much too flowery, dialogue was weak, and the mystery didn't hold up. It held my interest enough to finish it, so it wasn't terrible, but I was distracted by the thousands of adjectives and adverbs substituting for good storytelling. ( ) Gabriel Neville, parish priest at St. Anne's, Kensington Gardens, is hoping to be promoted to Archdeacon, when he receives a letter threatening to expose his involvement in events leading to the suicide of a young man ten years before when he was a curate in Brighton. Gabriel calls on another figure from his Brighton days, David Middleton-Brown, to help him track down the blackmailer before he is exposed. A great start to a new-to-me series that I just couldn't put down. no reviews | add a review
