Search - Some Danger Involved (Barker & Llewelyn, Bk 1)

What a good book! The characters have great personalities, there's subtle humor, definite intrigue,well-written descriptions and vibrant history. I couldn't put it down and promptly wish-listed the other books in the series.

Excellent Victorian England mystery novel. Barker is more a man of action than Holmes, but equally a brilliant thinker. His "Watson", Llewelyn, is a great character, as are all the inhabitants of Barker's home and office. Well-plotted but the characters are what drew me in.

A Sherlock Holmes - Doctor Watson type detective story, only better. Better characterizations, better atmosphere, more plausible story, and nice, dry humor.

Set in fin-de-siecle London, enquiry agent Barker and his new assistant Llewelyn are investigating the gruesome murder of a Jewish scholar against the background of a looming pogrom. The identity of the murderer was a surprise - did not expect it at all.

Great read - I'm putting the next book in the series on my wishlist!

You will be hooked after this first installment. Love the characters & the ambiance of the time period. Keep them coming

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was a very well written, tight mystery with intriguing characters. I can't wait to read the other books in the series.

A fast and interesting story. I am looking forward to ready more of the series.
