When the body of a young man is found stuffed into the tomb of a medieval knight, Parish Constable Daniel Haze is tasked with investigating his first solo murder case. Suspicion instantly falls on the only stranger to arrive in the village of Birch Hill just before the crime took place, but the American captain proves to be an unexpected asset. A former soldier and a skilled surgeon, Jason … Redmond is not only willing to assist Haze with the investigation but will risk his own safety to apprehend the killer.
With no suspects, no motive, and few leads to follow, Redmond and Haze must solve the crime before one of them becomes the murderer’s next victim.
Murder in the Crypt is the exciting first installment of this Victorian murder mystery series set in a quaint British village. Perfect for fans of Anne Perry and C.S. Harris.

Interesting. Clever. Good character building. Good backstory potential.
Great world building in the Victorian era. Well done story
I really enjoyed the pace, the varied characters and the mystery presented in this book. It is well written, with no editing problems, and no foul language, but it is NOT a “cosy mystery” because of its believable and complex situations and great characters. I am now going to search out some more titles by this author.
Entertaining. Good period piece. Not great, but I’d read another in the series.
An interesting combination of protagonists. An American surgeon who survived Andersonville during the civil war, and an English constable in an English village. Quite a good mystery, too.
A fantastic mystery that had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. This Author really knows how to bring a story to fruition. I love how the Author and the Narrator has brought the story. The different voices are fantastic I definitely recommend this.
