Seven for a Secret by Lyndsay FayeMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Wonderful stuff - the story of the Wilde brothers , the big brash Valentine who is both a fireman hero in !840s New York AND a captain of the newly formed NYPD. His smaller brother Timothy, the only policeman without a beat - because his peculiar talent for detecting means he is called into the most difficult cases.
Lyndsay Faye's rich and creamy writing, her historical knowledge plunge us deep into the period, and deep into the unfolding mystery. Indeed she can lead us by the nose anywhere she chooses. Impeccable writing. I am so jealous.
