A Reasonable Man
(2021)(The fourth book in the Inspector Lazarus Mystery series)
A novel by Suzanne Downes
Inspector Lazarus does not much care for London, but when his wife, Constance, is asked to accompany her cousin Arabella Allingham to the Metropolis in preparation for the birth of her first child, he has no choice but to go with the ladies.
He soon regrets his decision to leave Braxton. During his absence Superintendent Gregson manages to cause all manner of chaos. There has been a spate of fake coins being passed in the roughest area of town and instead of sending Lazarus and Stonier to investigate, whose plain clothes would have hidden their purpose, he sends in a horde of uniformed constables and nearly causes a riot.
When Gregson is shot on his own doorstep, Lazarus is happy to hear his old friend, Superintendent Tiplady of the Stockport Police has been asked to step into Gregson’s role. The two men are soon faced with an ever-growing list of those who wanted the man dead.
What other secrets was Gregson hiding? And will Lazarus ever discover which of the many suspects actually pulled the trigger?
Genre: Historical
