Honor's Kingdom by Owen Parry - 328 pages.A good read in the Abel Jones Civil War mystery series. Jones finds himself in London investigating increasingly confusing murders and other criminal behavior. The depiction of 1860’s London is not pretty – the deprivation and hardship endured by the poor are all too realistically portrayed. While the storyline gets fairly convoluted it’s still entertaining, especially Jones’ struggles to maintain propriety, cameos by famous members of society of the time and many literary in-jokes.
