Who Will Remember, the twentieth instalment in the long-running series of historical mysteries starring Sebastian St. Cyr, is another engrossing, clever, and superbly researched tale full of twists and turns as our favourite aristocratic amateur sleuth attempts to solve a very unusual murder. This story takes place around a year after the events of What…

I eagerly await the release of a new Sebastian St. Cyr book every year; we’re up to book seventeen with When Blood Lies and it’s one of the best of the recent instalments, a fabulous blend of whodunit and history set in Paris in March of 1815, in the days leading up to Napoleon’s escape…
