C.S. Harris' When Gods Die
The second book in the Sebastian St Cyr series finds our intrepid Viscount being asked to investigate the murder of a young woman--and everyone thinks the Prince Regent did it. There are plenty of suspects, but what really intrigues Sebastian is that the dead woman was wearing a necklace that belonged to his mother, who died when he was a child. Plenty of interesting historical/political shenanigans going on, and a pretty solid mystery in general. Also, I love how characters in historical mysteries are always just taking in helpful street urchins and employing/adopting them. Seriously, I love that. A-.
