A Burial at Sea by Charles Finch Book Summary

"Agatha Christie meets Patrick O'Brian in Finch's accomplished fifth whodunit set in Victorian England ... the best in the series to date."—Starred Review, Publisher's Weekly

In A Burial at Sea, Charles Lenox, Member of Parliament, sets sail on a clandestine mission for the government. When an officer is savagely murdered, however, Lenox is drawn toward his old profession, determined to capture another killer.

1873 is a perilous time in the relationship between France and England. When a string of English spies is found dead on French soil, the threat of all-out war prompts government officials to ask Charles Lenox to visit the newly-dug Suez Canal on a secret mission.

Once he is on board the Lucy, however, Lenox finds himself using not his new skills of diplomacy but his old ones: the ship's second lieutenant is found dead on the voyage's first night, his body cruelly abused. The ship's captain begs the temporarily retired detective to join in the hunt for a criminal. Lenox finds the trail, but in the claustrophobic atmosphere on board, where nobody can come or go and everyone is a suspect, he has to race against the next crime—and also hope he won't be the victim.

At once a compulsive murder mystery, a spy story, and an intimate and joyful journey with the Victorian navy, this book shows that no matter how far Lenox strays from his old life, it will always come back to find him.

A Burial at Sea. A faster pace book, with Lenox on a secret mission to Egypt. Out of his usual element, and confined to a ship for the voyage, filling both the role of a detective and a spy, an interesting insight into the social dynamics of an English ship, and of course a strange new villain. Political insight into those days in Egypt, the early times of the Suez Canal. Best book of this series! Congratulations to the author.

An engaging mystery. Finch gives a wonderful picture of life aboard ship and the mystery is a satisfying puzzle. Charles Lennox is an appealing detective. Lovely escape into a world unlike our own.

Murder at sea. Another fascinating mix of history and mystery. This time, Charles Lennox is involved in diplomatic intrigue as well as murder aboard a ship. Taut and suspenseful, I enjoyed this clever twist on a locked-room murder. (Forester and O’Brian are two of my very favorite authors, and Mr. Finch acknowledged their inspiration in writing his book — that much of the story takes place at sea was a special bonus.)

Another good one from Finch!. All of his books have been excellent and this one is the best so far! This author is on my automatic buy list. I do not need to read a sample or a review for any future novels.

Great book from start to finish!. I really appreciate the research that went into this book. It’s more than a mystery story. Entertaining throughout.
