Okay, I guessed the reason for the mystery in this one pretty quickly and the murderer a little later on. A young footman is killed in the alley behind the residence where he works. Lennox is called in to investigate the murder and then just as quickly told to get lost. Meanwhile he's having problems with his wife, Lady Jane and he doesn't know if being a member of Parliament is right for him. It's still very British and gentile.
If you want something less gentile, I recommend David Liss or The Yiddish Policemen'sĀ Union
