John Rawlings Investigates: Books 5-8
(2019)(A book in the John Rawlings series)
An omnibus of novels by Deryn Lake
In the next edition of the John Rawlings box set mysteries, our idiosyncratic sleuth is faced with four more puzzling cases.
From the death of an aristocrat in the Queen's palace, to a badly beaten corpse on a ghost ship, these evocative historical whodunits recreate 18th century London with all its grim streets and grimmer secrets.
The Rawlings novels are richly atmospheric and compelling Georgian mysteries woven around the real characters of John Fielding, the phenomenal sightless magistrate known as the ‘Blind Beak’, whose Runners formed London’s early police force; and John Rawlings, the Apothecary reputed to have invented soda water.
‘A wealth of marvellous characters parade across the pages, their dialogue is lively and John Rawlings is proving to be a real charmer’ - Eastbourne Herald
‘An effervescent tale...the author organises her large cast and colourful background with skill and gusto through a racily readable drama’ - Felicia Lamb in the Mail on Sunday’s Night & Day Magazine
Genre: Historical Mystery
