Meet Captain Gabriel Lacey, a half-pay cavalry officer who returns to Regency London with little money and no purpose, but with a sense of honor and fairness. He’s pulled into a search for a missing young woman, and thus begins investigating crime, using his status as a gentleman but a poor one to cross the boundaries between the top of society and the working class of the back streets.
In The Hanover Square Affair, a missing girl and horrific corpse plunge Captain Lacey into the dark underworld of Regency London.
In A Regimental Murder Captain Lacey is on hand to save the life of a beautiful widow; he then investigates the death of her husband, a colonel who had been accused of murdering a cavalry officer during the Peninsular War.
In The Glass House, Lacey investigates the death of a barrister’s young wife, and links her to a notorious brothel where the haut ton play.
Two short stories finish off the collection. In “The Disappearance of Miss Sarah Oswald,” Lacey is asked to locate a man’s missing daughter, though he senses that the family would be just as happy for her to remain missing. In “The Gentleman’s Walking Stick,” Lacey untangles a web of deceit involving a respectable society man, his only clue being a missing walking stick.
Join Captain Lacey and his friends as he investigates intrigue, murder, and villainy from the plush ballrooms of Mayfair to the darker streets of Regency London.

Love this one and I couldn’t put it down so I immediately got all of them and loved every one! I’m practically in love with the imaginary Captain Lacey!
A very enjoyable series. The characters are well drawn and the plots intriguing
Wonderful description of life in that period
Captain is an exceptional, original character and these mystery stories in which he stars are atmospheric & beautifully written. Wishing for more asap!
I’m a huge fan of the Captain Lacey series. The time period comes alive with a really interesting protagonist. Captain Lacey, a well bred but down on his luck gentleman handicapped in the war, is so likable even though he has his flaws.
The story is full of plot twists and myriad possibly guilty characters so that it keeps the reader guessing. …
Excellent!
Keeps you guessing.
I’ve now read all the CaptainLacey books (discovered them last week, downloaded everything I could get my hands on). Can’t wait for the next (due March 2018). Entertaining main character and interesting mysteries.
