Thanks to #netgalley for the opportunity to read this book
I have read several books in this Lenox series and mostly enjoyed. This is a prequel to the first book of the series. Finch captures the tone and style of 1850s English upper class. Lenox is asked to find a missing picture from the home of the Duke of Dorset. This leads to a search for an unpublished manuscript by Shakespeare. Recommend

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A true Mystery. Can you solve it before amateur detective Charles Lennox does? #NetGalley #TheVanishingMan

I‘ve enjoyed the few books I‘ve read in the Charles Lenox series - an amateur detective in Victorian England. This is the 2nd prequel after last years, and although it wasn‘t perfect it had a unique story. Lenox is called to a Duke‘s house to find a picture which was stolen. It wasn‘t particularly valuable but one of the pics left was the only one done of Shakespeare in his lifetime. Lenox wonders why the thief didn‘t steal it. 4.0/5.0⭐️ #2019
