This was an average one for me. (

After Mrs Abigail Collins, an actress, has been missing for six months, Marianne Simmons asks Captain Lacey to find her. But it is only a couple of days until Lacey's marriage.
He doesn't take long before Lacey is in danger and has to face being abducted, persons being blackmailed and the sending of incendiary devices. Also involved is Granville, Denis from previous tales and a new bow street runner.
Another enjoyable and engaging mystery. (

Another great Captain Lacey mystery. I really like this entire cast of characters and readily look forward to the next installment.

In this story, Marianne comes to Lacey just before he leaves town to attend his wedding. She wants his help finding a friend - an actress - that has disappeared. As Lacey learns more, he becomes more concerned. Then, he's jumped and beaten and warned off. That just ups his interest and concern. Soon, he's drug Greenville and his wife into the mix trying to find this missing actress.

A great story that immediately left me wanting to start the next... (

Marianne Simmons came to me on a cold December day when I was packing away my old life in order to begin my new.

Memories accumulated as thickly as the objects, and I could not remove the one from the other. Hence they all went into boxes to be moved to my new abode.

Give me a good friend, a warm woman, and a comfortable place to lay my head, and I was happy.

Your attitude is deplorable, Lacey. All gentlemen are supposed to bewail putting their head in the noose. You will make the rest of us look shabby.

Polite, deferential, and still managed to tell me exactly what she wanted. She was certainly my daughter. (Lacey of Gabriella Auberge)

"You have an uncanny knack for mocking others and yourself at the same time," I said, "and yet making the mocking sound like a compliment." (Lacey, of Lucius Grenville)
