Sidney Chambers and the Shadow of Death - James Runcie

The Shadow of Death

 

A man's mistress comes to Sidney Chambers to ask him to investigate his death as she's convinced he didn't commit suicide.

 

I haven't watched the TV series, so this wasn't an opportunity to revisit already known characters, but the mystery was alright albeit a bit light on the investigative side. I could have done without Sidney's "interest" in the widow, however. It made the ending drag on too long.
