The Frost Fair review

[alobear]

The Frost Fair by Edward Marston is the Restoration-set series by the author of The Railway Detective.  Much like the latter, it involves a very personable hero investigating a crime, and developing a romance with a very likeable herione.  There are great peripheral characters, a little more excitement and violence than in The Railway Detective, but it has a similar, very enjoyable tone, and is an all-round fun read.  I'm getting to like this author rather a lot - he's never going to set the literary world on fire, but I look forward to exploring more of his back catalogue, which is reassuringly extensive.
