Book Synopsis

Two candles flaring at a Christmas crib. A nurse who steps inside a church to light them. A gunshot emptied in a man’s head in the creaking stillness before dawn, that the nurse says she didn’t hear. It’s 1947 in the snowbound, war-scarred City of London, where Pandora’s Box just got opened in the ruins, City Police has a vice killing on its hands, and a spooked councilor hires a shamus to help spare his blushes. Like the Buddha says, everything is connected. So it all can be explained. But that’s a little cryptic when you happen to be the shamus, and you’re standing over a corpse.

My Review

Shamus Dust is set in London post was 1947. This novel has secrets that are uncovered, blackmail, murders, corrupt police to name just a few. I found the way this Author describes everything very vividly and I could imagine myself here amongst them all. This would make a brilliant film!

The Author has really done their research with this book and it shows. It is intriguing and will make you want to read more, but also savour every word. Beautifully written and I will definitely read more from this Author.
