S G MacLean recommends

Blood's Game (2017)
(Holcroft Blood, book 1)
Angus Donald
"Angus Donald is a proper story-teller and Blood's Game is a full-throated adventure following a flesh and blood cast of engaging characters as they cross and double-cross each other around a convincingly-depicted Restoration London."

The Angel's Mark (2018)
(Nicholas Shelby, book 1)
S W Perry
"I knew before I got to the bottom of the first page that The Angel's Mark was the real thing. In an increasingly crowded field, this one is going to stand out."

The Crown Agent (2019)
(Crown Agent, book 1)
Stephen O'Rourke
"Fast-paced and not a word wasted, this is a classic adventure that calls to mind Stevenson and Buchan."

The Plague Letters (2021)
V L Valentine
"A riotous delve into the dark medical world of Restoration London. In her heroine Penelope and the hapless Symon, V.L.Valentine has given us an appealing and truly unique pairing."
