This was possibly the best Historical Police Procedural story that I have ever read. Set in Pontypridd in the early to mid 1890's, the way that it described the people and industry in the area was gripping in itself. Being a new series, time was spent on introducing the larger than life characters. At no point in the entire book had I any idea who commited the crimes and even the authors notes were enjoyable to read. And what an unexpected ending.
