Portrait of Peril by Laura Joh Rowland
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

October 1890. Just as Sarah Bain has married DS Thomas Barrett, a body is discovered. It is identified as Charles Firth, photographer, who seemingly died during the night in a locked church. While Sarah and her two friends Mick O'Reilly and Hugh Staunton investigate Firth's death, Sarah and her half-sister Sally investigate the 24 year old murder of Ellen Casey, as their father is the prime suspect.
For me there was not enough mystery and too much emphasis on the past.
An ARC was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
