A Death in Norfolk
Denis asks Captain Lacey to deliver a letter to a neighbour of his ancestral estate. Denis’s henchmen appear on the scene – when one is murdered and another disappears Denis insists Lacey investigate.

Convincing Regency atmosphere despite one big historical boo-boo that I noticed, but I like the characters so I will continue with this series.

A Disappearance in Drury Lane
Only two days before Captain Lacey's wedding day, Marianne asks him to look into the disappearance of an actress friend.

Marianne reveals a bit more of her back story and there are some interesting relationship developments as well as a pleasantly convoluted plot.

A Murder in Grosvenor Square
The young son of Captain Lacey's friends the Derwents is found beaten unconscious next to the dead body of his more than close friend Gareth Travers in an alleyway in Seven Dials. Was it a mugging or anti-molly violence? Can Lacey avoid a scandal which would ruin the Derwents' reputation?

The previous book didn't exactly end on a cliffhanger but there were relationship problems which got resolved here and although being in a detective's social circle is dangerous in any era, hopefully the epilogue's hints of the beginning of a new relationship come true ( )
