The Sudbury School Murders
While Captain Lacey is working undercover looking into a series of pranks at a school in Berkshire, the body of the head groom at the school is found floating in a nearby canal. One of the stable boys is arrested but Lacey happens to know the head groom had connections to the London underworld, so he decides to dig deeper. 👎

rwmg This was at the same time the best of the series so far and the worst. The best with regard to an exciting story that left me quite anxious for one character and some interesting developments in the relationships between the characters. Unfortunately it was also one where the author had not been paying so much attention to making the characters' vocabulary period-appropriate. 2y
rwmg A Body in Berkeley Square
When a body is found at a society ball, Lacey's former colonel confesses to the murder and says it was because of the victim's offensive behaviour to the colonel's mistress. Lacey is not convinced and decides to uncover the truth.

Some interesting twists and turns but again some linguistic slips. 👎

rwmg A Covent Garden Mystery
Denis arranges for Lacey's wife and daughter to come to London together with the wife's new partner. Family drama ensues until Gabriella goes missing while Lacey is investigating why game girls are going missing. Now the investigation gets personal.

Interesting to get more of Lacey's back story and the relationships between the characters advance but the mystery itself seems just an excuse to show that everyone loves Lacey

"The young woman buying peaches in Covent Garden in the early morning had honey brown hair under a small bonnet, clear white skin, deep brown eyes, and a faint French accent. The stall owner was trying to cheat her."

From the third novel in this omnibus, "A Covent Garden Mystery"
