The Blood Covenant by Chris Nickson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

1823 Leeds. Simon Westow, thief taker, has retrieved items for local businessman Thomas Arden, but becomes concerned when the thief turns up murdered. Meanwhile he is investigating the death of local man Sebastian Ramsey, clerk in Seaton's mill. But what of the deaths of the young boys who worked at that mill. But soon there will be more deaths to solve. And why is someone trying to kill him. Events soon escalate.
An entertaining, well-plotted, and well-written historical mystery with its cast of varied and likeable characters. A another good addition to the series, which can be read as a standalone story.
An ARC was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
