Blackstone And The Rendezvous With Death

Blackstone, a Scotland Yard detective, feels that he is somewhat out of his depth when he has to deal with the death of a young aristocrat. Why is Charles's sister the only one who appears to care about him? What has her fiancée got to do with it? What is the involvement of the Russians?

This is an excellent mystery with likeable characters, a vivid Victorian atmosphere and interesting details of London's Little Russia. Sally Spencer also examines the class-consciousness of the age in this well-written novel which is part of the Endeavour Press Virtual History Festival .
