An intricate web of mystery is created when detective Charles Maddox receives a case that delves into the history of Percy Bysshe Shelley. The story will take you through the generations of both the Shelley family and the Maddox family as the case is given to the younger Charles Maddox by the son and daughter-in-law of Mary Shelley and ties in with a case that Maddox's great-uncle investigated for the Shelley family.
This novel will lead you down a twisted path and you will see many sides of all of the characters as the mystery unfolds. If you enjoy being involved in an complex mystery, this book is for you. At times, I was confused with the number of characters and keeping families members straight, since I am not familiar with the Shelley family lineage. Perhaps a family tree diagram would have helped me out.
I am also intrigued enough to read Lynn Shepherd's other Charles Maddox mystery "The Solitary House."
