992. "An Extravagant Death" by Charles Finch -- 3 Stars

 An Extravagant Death by Charles Finch -- 3 Stars

Publisher: St. Martin’s Press  

ISBN: 9781250767134

 

This is the first book I have read in the Charles Lenox series. It began with a lengthy description of Lenox and the facts of his past history that were the reason for him to travel to America. Reading the book out of order was fine.

The mystery was complex and the conclusion of the case was a surprise. The period and the lifestyle of the wealthy of Newport were described in great detail. The differences Lenox observed between the upper class titled of England and the very wealthy of America were interesting, as were observations of the attitude and style of those who served them.

Unfortunately, I found the pace of the story slow. I was bored by too much detail about Lenox’s life.
