It Was a Dark and Foggy Night...

Everybody has secrets: the beautiful young woman who Sebastian St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin, is accused of murdering; his fellow peers of the realm; his former lover; and even his own family. With the Bow Street Runners nipping at his heels, St. Cyr takes to the streets of Regency London to figure the secrets out and save his own life, relying on skills he developed as a spy in the war against Napoleon and an odd assortment of allies to help him figure out “who done it.”
"What Angels Fear" is the first in the Sebastian St. Cyr mystery series. Not only does C.S. Harris deliver a captivating story, but this author also paints a vivid portrait of life in 1811 London, from poverty-stricken neighborhoods to the court of King George III. You’ll love the hero and hate the villain, but most of all you’ll want to discover what happens next.
Great Start submitted by kathscot on June 15, 2020, 12:31pm A great start to a good series. Harris certainly does her research and adds an author note at the end to let you know what facts inspired her story.
