Lord Edgington and his grandson Christopher go to London to see what the Bright Young People of London are up to. Treasure hunts are the entertainment of the day and one person has already been found dead. When a recent acquaintance ends up dead soon after, Chrissy and his grandfather can't help wonder if the two deaths are related. With Christopher and his grandfather on the case it is only a matter of time before they figure out who the killer is.
I am loving the Lord Edgington Investigates series! I love that I usually can't figure out the "who-done-it" until it is pointed out to me. Christopher cracks me up! He is a mixture of insecurities and "I-know-I'm-right" teenager-ness. He makes me laugh with his flair for the dramatic. Not just in his always empty stomach, but also in his wrapping up of the case speeches. His insights and his empathy for the people that he comes in contact with show that he is growing as the series continues. I enjoy that Lord Edgington insists that Christopher reasons things out and prove his theories. I also enjoy that each book can stand alone without revealing anything from past or future books. This is book 5 in the series. I read books 1-4 and then had to skip to book 6 and now back to book 5 and nothing was given away, no missing pieces. A great mystery series that keeps you guessing until the end.
That is a wrap for my reading in 2025! My goal was to read 65 books but I only managed 39. A few books I read two or three times over for proofreading purposes. Happy New Year to you all and may your 2026 be filled with many blessings!
