Beschreibung

For fans of Lindsey Davis and Iain Pears-A lawyer stands accused of murder in this historical mystery series opener set in Cromwell's England.Two-time Edgar nominee L. C. Tyler is best known for his series featuring Ethelred and Elsie- a third-rate novelist and his gloriously vulgar agent, respectively. And so he should be: He's twice won Britain's "e;Last Laugh"e; award for the Best Humorous Mystery of the Year.But with A Cruel Necessity, the first in the John Grey series, Tyler takes a sharp turn into the shadows. There are still some chuckles to be had, but not many . . .This is England in the year 1657, Oliver Cromwell is in power, and joy has essentially been outlawed. A young lawyer with a taste for beer and pretty women, Grey finds pleasures enough, even in this backwater Essex town, but he'd be wise to keep his amusement to himself: A Royalist spy has been found dead in a local ditch, and Cromwell's agents are eager-distressingly eager-to explain to Grey that this is nothing to laugh about.Praise for A Cruel Necessity"e;Tyler juggles his characters, story, wit and clever one-liners with perfect balance."e; -The Times (UK)"e;The characterization is good, it is well-paced, and the plot fits in beautifully with the historical events of the day. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will look out for this author again."e; -Historical Novel Society
