C.A. Asbrey is a writer of mysteries, and a fan of all things Victorian and obscure. A former member of law enforcement in Scotland, she developed a deep interest in early forensics and detection methods, particularly during the 19th Century, working in the field. This extensive research into early detectives and the tools available to them acted as the foundation for developing the characters in her The Innocents Mystery Series. She likes her mysteries twisty, complex, and intricate; through a fog of history and a touch of light humor.

This is my favourite in the series so far by quite a long way. It features the return of Asher, who works so well with Matt in this one. We see vampiric evil leaking over from New Thameswick, and builds gently on the worlds DC Farmer has already crea ...more
