The next book in the Bloodstone Murders series is a historical thriller that received the Chanticleer award for global suspense.
Henrietta Newell stormed into the detective bureau. She claimed her adult son was missing and feared for his safety. The detectives attempted to reassure her that the absence of a bachelor in his thirties, in a city like London, wasn’t extraordinary. Despite their efforts, she insisted an investigation be conducted, reminding them of her political connections.
Detective Rudyard Bloodstone and his partner were told to look into the matter. Their investigation reveals evidence of suspicious and unusual activity but no clues regarding the man’s disappearance. The few leads they develop take them from the world of wealthy families and into the secret society of sexual peculiarities.
The detectives discover the victim didn’t simply disappear. He was murdered. They have the evidence except for one problem, they’re missing the victim’s body.

My Review - 4 of 5 stars -
I found this story interesting, historical murder with plenty of interaction of police departments. I liked the fact that there were a couple of other cases, one helped the main case while the other showed how smart a woman can be as a PI. Ruddy and Archie got involved because of the class of the missing person. They were willing to work with others and look at every clue that came along. With a death that brought some sadness to the story, I kept reading to see if the culprit would get caught. I also enjoyed the personal side of these characters and loved the connection between Ruddy and Honeysuckle.
I received a copy through RABT, and this is my unsolicited review.
