Praise for Barbara Cleverly "Despite her mastery at vivid scene-setting, Cleverly never loses sight of the historical puzzle that is central to her story. Simply put, it's a stunner." --The New York Times Book Review "Fans of P.D. James, take note: Here's a worthy colleague." --The Seattle Times "Stylish and intricate . . . Cleverly has perfect pitch for period and place, whether her hero is unearthing evil in India, England or France." -- Richmond Times-Dispatch, Praise for Fall of Angels "I have been a fan of Barbara Cleverly's ever since her first Joe Sandilands novel, and find her new series quite exciting. I feel as if Dorothy Sayers has been brought back to life! Detective Inspector John Redfyre is Lord Peter Wimsey without the affectations. Many writers can tell us about the 1920s, but so few can transport us there, as Barbara Cleverly does." --Rhys Bowen, New York Times bestselling author of the Royal Spyness and Molly Murphy mysteries "A novel that will equally satisfy fans of Evelyn Waugh and Dorothy L. Sayers, Fall of Angels is a delicious concoction, showcasing Barbara Cleverly's prodigious talent. John Redfyre is a detective for the ages." --Tasha Alexander, New York Times bestselling author of Death in St. Petersburg "Imagine Lord Peter Wimsey attended Cambridge instead of Oxford, and needed a job of work to support himself. And there you have it, Inspector Redfyre, a toff as adept at detection as he is at wordplay. Fall of Angels is sharp, witty, and pleasingly surprising." --James R. Benn, author of the Billy Boyle WWII mysteries "In this new series kickoff, Cleverly provides the requisite period detail, adds a cunning mystery, and acknowledges that the fight for equality continues to this day." --Kirkus Reviews "A brilliant sleuth with surprisingly liberal politics for the time, Redfyre combines the wit and willingness to defy convention of Kerry Greenwood's Phryne Fisher with the polish of Dorothy Sayers' Lord Peter Wimsey, adding a hint of G. M. Malliet's Max Tudor. The novel has the feel of a humorous cozy while exploring serious themes and boasting richly flawed characters . . . a promising new series." --Booklist "Aficionados of Jacqueline Winspear and Dorothy Sayers will relish this atmospheric historical mystery, with its colorful period details that brilliantly capture post-World War I Britain." --Library Journal Praise for Barbara Cleverly "Despite her mastery at vivid scene-setting, Cleverly never loses sight of the historical puzzle that is central to her story. Simply put, it's a stunner." --The New York Times Book Review "Fans of P.D. James, take note: Here's a worthy colleague." --The Seattle Times "Stylish and intricate . . . Cleverly has perfect pitch for period and place, whether her hero is unearthing evil in India, England or France." -- Richmond Times-Dispatch

Synopsis
At the annual St. Barnabas College Christmas concert Detective Inspector Redfyre witnesses a minor scandal: the trumpeter of the headlining musical duo, is a woman, and a young one at that - practically unheard of in conservative circles. When she suffers a near-fatal fall after the close of the show, Redfyre must consider whether someone was trying to kill her. Has her musical talent, her beauty, or perhaps most importantly, her gender, provoked a dangerous criminal to act? Redfyre must both seek advice from and keep an eye on old friends to catch his man before more innocents fall victim., Whisks readers to 1920s Cambridge, a European intellectual capital on the cusp of dramatic change, with a case to be solved by an ingenious new sleuth., Barbara Cleverly, bestselling author of the Joe Sandilands series, introduces an ingenious new sleuth who navigates 1920s Cambridge, a European intellectual capital on the cusp of dramatic change. England 1923: Detective Inspector John Redfyre is a godsend to the Cambridge CID. The ancient university city is at war with itself: town versus gown, male versus female, press versus the police force and everyone versus the undergraduates. Redfyre, young, handsome and capable, is a survivor of the Great War. Born and raised among the city's colleges, he has access to the educated lite who run these institutions, a society previously deemed impenetrable by local law enforcement. When Redfyre's Aunt Hetty hands him a front-row ticket to the year's St. Barnabas College Christmas concert, he is looking forward to a right merrie yuletide noyse from a trumpet soloist, accompanied by the organ. He is intrigued to find that the trumpet player is--scandalously--a young woman. And Juno Proudfoot is a beautiful and talented one at that. Such choice of a performer is unacceptable in conservative academic circles. Redfyre finds himself anxious throughout a performance in which Juno charms and captivates her audience, and his unease proves well founded when she tumbles headlong down a staircase after curtainfall. He finds evidence that someone carefully planned her death. Has her showing provoked a dangerous, vengeful woman-hater to take action? When more Cambridge women are murdered, Redfyre realizes that some of his dearest friends and his family may become targets, and--equally alarmingly--that the killer might be within his own close circle.

    The item came in excellent packaging, so much so that I am entirely impressed with this seller and their exceptional attention to detail. They did such a good job that I have absolutely no complaints - not even ones so tiny that mentioning them would be nitpicking. The item came in excellent condition, was described perfectly, and the photos in the listing were accurate and showed relevant details. I would love to purchase from them again with such high quality, excellent value products.
