This is a very well written book with a fine plot and cast of characters. I enjoyed this book immensely and would highly recommend it as a wonderful read.

***I received this book in exchange for an honest review.***

Hardcastle and Marriott investigate a murder that links to two similar murders elsewhere in London. When the housemaid disappears to the seaside, murder follows and so does the Scotland Yard. In the end, attention to details and lucky breaks allow them to catch their man. Greed leads to murder and no one is immune to the allure of wanting more than one has. Interesting series. Will have to see how it goes after the war is over.

In the dying days of the Great War, Ison's London detective finds himself involved in not one, but four, murders, Hardcastle's bluffer than bluff, with his long-suffering sergeant providing a second point of view on his successful superior. Graham Ison has written for The Bill, and this series is benefits from that experience.
