What Angels Fear by C.S. Harris 341 pp.
In 1811 England the country is still involved in a war with France as well as dealing with the crisis of a mad king whose extravagant son is about to be made regent. Sebastian St. Cyr, the Viscount Devlin's father has an important role in the government. Sebastian is accused of the brutal murder and rape of a young actress/prostitute but has escaped the police. He is determined to find the real killer to clear his name. He gathers a crew of assistants including a savvy street urchin, a coroner, and his former love, a beautiful actress named Kat Boleyn (her stage name, not one of those Boleyns). This story has lots of action and interesting characters but almost too many suspects and skin-of-the-teeth escapes. I'm on the fence about reading more in the series. However, the narration of the audiobook by Davina Porter is exemplary.
