Murder at the Fitzwilliam
Murder at the Fitzwilliam | Jim Eldridge
7 posts | 6 read | 2 to read
After rising to prominence for his role investigating the case of Jack the Ripper, former Detective Inspector Daniel Wilson is now retired. Known for his intelligence, investigative skills, and most of all his discretion, he's often consulted when a case must be solved quickly and quietly. So when a body is found in the Egyptian Collection of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, Wilson is called in. As he tries to uncover the identity of the dead man and the circumstances surrounding his demise, Wilson must contend with an unhelpful police Inspector, and more alarmingly, Abigail McKenzie, the archaeologist who discovered the body and is determined to protect the Egyptian collection. Can they find a way to work together to solve the mystery?

This was my last read in February, it a historical crime fiction and the first in a super series. I have already read the next 4 books. Daniel Wilson ex Scotland Yard is now a private investigater and is hired by the Fitzwilliam to investigate a murder. Then comes Abgail Fenton, studied archaeology and they end up pairing together to find the culprit.

Daniel Wilson made a name for himself as part of Inspector Abberline's team hunting Jack the Ripper. Now he is called to the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge when a (recent) body is found in a sarcophagus. Daniel enlists the help of Abigail Fenton, a classicist who catalogues artifacts for the museum as the body count adds up.

Set in 1894, this was enjoyable though there were a number of irrelevant plot lines that seemed to just be dropped.

I read this in about an hour, it is easy fluff. The writing is okay and the plot is okay. It is quite tropey particularly when it comes to the female characters.

Kinda meh. Just felt a bit superficial. Not a terrible reading experience, just not especially good either.
