The Redemption Murders by J.C. Briggs
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

London 1851. As the captain, Louis Valentine, of the ship The Redemption, has been killed Inspector James Bold and Constable John Gaunt (nephew to Superintendent Jones) go onboard to investigate.
The only clue is a copy of The Old Curiosity Shop, inscribed to Kit. Kit Penney a friend of Dickens is a suspect and but is unfortunately missing. Superintendent Jones and Dickens investigate only to find this is not the first death. And there will be more, and also people start going missing.
An enjoyable and well-written historical mystery, another good read in this series with its cast of likeable characters.
An ARC was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
