Dance with Death
Dance with Death: A Barker & Llewelyn Novel | Will Thomas
5 posts | 4 read | 2 to read
London, 1893: Private enquiry agents Cyrus Barker and Thomas Llewelyn are called in to protect Tsesarevich Nicholas from nefarious forces as he travels to England for a royal wedding—inDance with Death, the next mystery in Will Thomas’s beloved series. In June of 1893, the future Nicholas II travels to London for a royal wedding, bringing with him his private security force and his ballerina mistress, Mathilde Kchessinska. Rumored to be the target of a professional assassin known only as La Sylphide, and the subject of conspiracies against his life by his own family who covet his future throne, Nicholas is protected by not only private security, but the professional forces of both England and Russia. All of these measures prove inadequate when Prince George of England is attacked by an armed anarchist who mistakes him for Nicholas. As a result, Barker and Llewelyn are brought in to help track down the assassin and others who might conspire against the life of the tsesarevich . The investigations lead them down several paths, including Llewelyn's old nemesis, the assassin Sofia Ilyanova. With Barker and Llewelyn both surviving separate attempts on their lives, the race is on to find both the culprit and the assassin they hired. Taking them through high society (including a masked ball at Kensington Palace) and low, chasing down motives both personal and political, Barker and Llewelyn must solve the case of their life before the crime of the century is committed.

Another Barker & Llewelyn tale.it is
1893 & the future Nicholas II of Russia is in London for a royal wedding.Due to his uncanny resemblance to his cousin Nicolas, Prince George of England is mistaken for him,& attacked by an anarchist.What follows is a dangerous game as B & L are tasked with finding the assassin & preventing another attempt,before these circumstances generate an international incident.

I love the Barker and Llewelyn series. If you‘ve never tried them, picture a world with real historical people and events, a Sherlock with morals and a heart, and a Watson who is a young man and occasionally not a brain between his ears. Occasionally, I get so annoyed with Thomas that I have to stop reading because I can‘t take the second hand embarrassment.

I‘m off desk for the rest of my shift, so I‘m getting some processing done and listening to Barker and Thomas on the trail of a wiley assassin.

I love this series and almost always listen to it. The audiobook reader for the series is normally fabulous however, has the worst American Southern accent I‘ve ever heard. Yowzer. The rest of the book makes up for it.
