This story is fascinating, wedding historical fiction with an interesting mystery, Inspector Faro proving an intriguing character whom I found more fun to read about that the great Holmes.And the author artfully blends this with a treatise on the home life of Faro, and the sacrifices made there in order that he give proper attention to the job, even when it conflicts with times intended for enjoyment of and with loved ones.Furthermore, this particular story raises questions disturbing to proponents of the hierarchical government of the United Kingdom, questions that have potential of shattering the legitimacy of that system (certainly not today with DNA tracking, but undeniably for the times in which the story is set).You'll find this story a fascinating treatise, and will thoroughly enjoy the characters.  Surprisingly, Ms Knight actually will have you saying, "I wonder if…" regarding the mystery Inspector Faro attempts to solve.  Charming & intriguing plot, delightful characters.
