A Case of Life and Limb by Sally Smith
Mellifluous writing in a charming 19th century style, an idiosyncratic barrister and a mystery set in the rarified world of Inner Temple of London make this book a joy to read, although a bit gruesome! When leading barristers start receiving packages of body parts, Gabriel Ward finds himself involved in trying to find the culprit. He also takes the case of Miss Topsy Tillotson, a beautiful music-hall star, finding himself emotionally involved in the puzzling case. I haven’t read the first book but this would make a great TV series! I received this free ebook from NetGalley in return for an honest review.
