Are they all connected and who could be behind it all? Why would they be doing such a thing and can Matthew Bartholomew find them before they strike again? What will become of them all as they uncover a bone of contention? First published in on the 28th of April, this was the third book in the long-running Thomas Chaloner franchise. Building upon the tone and the style of what came before, this manages to recreate and further develop the series as a whole overall.
Setting up a new case to solve too, this also works in a similar manner to her other franchises, carrying on with the familiar whilst simultaneously offering something new for the reader as well. Once again featuring a period detective setting, this particular series features former spy turned detective Thomas Chaloner, it takes place during the Restoration of Charles II.
Using his powers of deduction once more, it features a similar style to her previous franchises, with her now trademark attention to detail and historical accuracy. With the character clearly being a product of his time, it uses the era well so as to offset his skill, as he works to get the bottom of each case through skill and pragmatism. This time after returning home from a secret trip to Spain and Portugal on behalf of the queen, Thomas Chaloner finds that things have changed and, not only that, but people are dying apparently after eating cucumber.
Is it really the cucumber though and can Chaloner find evidence that proves otherwise? Why are these deaths happening and what could possibly be gained from them? Can Thomas Chaloner find the criminal in time as he tracks down the butcher of Smithfield?
