Fierce Poison: A Barker & Llewelyn Novel by Will Thomas

This was the first book that I have read from the Barker & Llewelyn series and I thought it was quite good. I enjoyed the witty interplay between characters and the book put me right there in London in 1893. It kind of made me appreciate the modern era a bit more, though, especially modern medicine! I would recommend it to mystery readers and history buffs of this era. I will now have to go back and start at book #1 and work my way through the series. I look forward to it!
