In 19th century London, Cyrus Barker and his associate Thomas Llewelyn are renowned private enquiry agents, successfully employed by the highest levels of Her Majesty's government as well as private citizens. Their success, however, has led to their acquiring a powerful group of enemies, many of whom are determined to have their revenge. At least one of those enemies is responsible for a bombing of their offices that puts Cyrus Barker into the hospital and endangers Thomas Llewelyn's rapidly forthcoming nuptials. To add to the confusion, Barker's long-lost brother Caleb turns up on the rubble of their doorstep not long after the not-quite-fatal bombing.

As Thomas works his way through their enemy list, someone else is winnowing down that list: one by one those enemies are dying. With time running outand his bride-to-be reconsidering their marriageLlewelyn must (with the sick-bed bound Barker's help) uncover the killer and the plot before it's too late.

If you enjoy Sherlock Holmes then do I have a series for you. This is book 10 in the Barker & Llewelyn set. Heavily influenced by Doyle's work, this nevertheless stands well on its own. This is the 1st book though where Llewelyn gets the chance to shine fully as an enquiry agent when his boss, Barker, is badly injured when their offices are blown up. Unlike me, if you start this series now you won't have to wait 6 years between books 5 and 6.

wanderinglynn Sounds interesting! Thanks for recommending! 👍🏻 6y

I love this series so much and this was a great entry. Barker & Llewelyn‘s office gets bombed, Barker is injured, and Llewelyn is on the hunt to discover who the culprit is. So many people want Barker dead that suspects abound! Bring in Barker‘s mysterious brother Caleb, and you‘ve got a great mystery! Can‘t wait for the next one! I voluntarily reviewed an eARC copy provided by the publisher via NetGalley.
