The Theft of the Iron Dogs: A Lancashire Mystery by E.C.R. Lorac
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lunesdale. Farmer Gile Hoggett contacts DCI MacDonald at Scotland Yard about thefts at a cottage on his lands. On arrival he finds more thefts have occurred, and a sighting of a man missing from London, a racketeer. But soon a body is discovered.
An entertaining and well-written historical mystery with its likeable main character supported by a cast of varied personalities. It can easily be read as a standalone story. Another good addition to this enjoyable series.
An ARC was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
