Murder at Trafalgar Square
A murdered suffragette. A missing politician. A stolen artwork.
London, 1910
Coral Fairbanks is a contradiction. As well as a suffragette, she's a bit-part actress and nude model, earning her the disapproval of her fellow suffragettes.
Guy Flynn is an artist. He’s also a detective inspector at Scotland Yard, who doesn’t always see eye to eye with fellow officers in the Metropolitan Police.
When Home Secretary Winston Churchill orders the police to terrorise the suffragettes during an afternoon of violence that becomes known as Black Friday, the battlelines are drawn – and Coral Fairbanks and Guy Flynn are on different sides.
But when a young suffragette is found murdered in the National Portrait Gallery and one of their paintings is stolen – Fairbanks and Flynn must put their differences aside and combine their knowledge to track down the killer.
Introducing an iconic detective duo in Fairbanks and Flynn, this is an exciting and gripping historical mystery, which will delight fans of Agatha Christie, Benedict Brown and T. E. Kinsey

| My Thoughts |
As a cosy mystery this one was quite satisfying, good plot, good characters, well researched historically and with a satisfying ending. The Suffragette element and the setting of London circa 1910 was also most enjoyable and well depicted. I admit to rather preferring DI Guy Flynn a little more than leading protagonist Coral Fairbanks, as I feel he was the better portrayed (Coral did irritate a little at first) but this is the start of a new series, so perspectives might change with future titles.
The story was a little slow to get going, with a lot of characters to get to know (difficult on a Kindle as it isn't easy to flick back to see who is who) however once it got going, and once the murder appeared, things brightened up considerably.
So a decent start to a new series.
**** 4 stars
