The Hanging Psalm: A Regency mystery set in Leeds by Chris Nickson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In 1820 Leeds, Simon Westow makes a living as a thief-taker, recovering lost property. He is approached by John Milner, businessman, to find his daughter who has been kidnapped. Find her before he has to pay the ransom. Westow and his assitant Jane set the enquiries in motion. But how far back in Westow's past do they need to go.
A really good mystery, well-written and with good well-developed characters. A very good, solid, start to a new series which I look forward to reading more.
