The Ornamental Hermit (D.S. Billings Victorian Mystery)The Ornamental Hermit by Olivier Bosman
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

1890 London and Detective Sergeant John Billings is asked by his guardians the Forresters, as a favour, to find their son Sebastian. Sebastian who has been missing these past ten years. While at work at Scotland Yard Billings is investigating the murder of Lord Palmer at his estate. The main and only suspect being a Brendan Lochrane, employed by Palmer as a hermit.
While a somewhat interesting mystery I did find it difficult to like any of the main characters, which is a problem for me when reading character driven stories.
I received a complimentary copy of the book from the author via Voracious Readers Only
