I’d say one of the best parts of this books is the cleverness of the plot, but there were parts that were a bit slow (not too many,mostly in the beginning). This is a pretty good series, one I’ve read over the years and enjoyed. Immediately he is back in his familiar territory-searching for a killer. Puzzled and unable to figure out what has happened, he suddenly gets a case when a man from Scotland Yard he has worked with for many years is murdered. And to his astonishment and embarrassment, he not only does not receive a lot of requests for his help at first, he actually is getting some bad reviews in the press. He and several of his longtime friends and associates have decided to open an investigation agency together. This book takes an interesting turn, in that it shows him struggling professionally for much of the story. In previous books, he has always been very successful at whatever efforts he turns his attentions toward. Charles Lenox is an independently wealthy, private investigator in 1876–a time when the profession is still young.
