The Fatal Coin A Dan Foster novella A Dan Foster Mystery edition by Lucienne Boyce Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks

If you haven't already come across the wonderful Dan Foster, the Bow Street Runner, pugilist, and detective with a difference, this is a great way to get to know him in this stand-alone quick-read novella.

As with all Boyce's novels, the cast of characters is an interesting and well-developed mix, and the historical context and setting brought vividly to life without the reader ever feeling like they're having a history lesson. Boyce's gift for creating a sense of place shines as ever, whether Dan's on duty in London or being commissioned to investigate a rural mystery - in this case the disappearance of recently discovered hoard of Roman gold in rural Staffordshire. I particularly admired the evocation of the highwaymen who were such a real risk to travellers, the dismal Staffordshire community around the vicarage where much of the action takes place, and the prison scenes.

Although this is a period in English history that I am not well versed in, I'm really enjoying learning more about the facts and harsh realities of life in those days it through the compelling Dan Foster series, as well as more about his character, as his intriguing back story (street urchin turned pugilist) continue to be unveiled. And cleverly, although Boyce never romanticises the period, she also weaves in compelling subplots about Dan's marriage and other relationships that add an extra layer of interest and poignancy to the series. Looking forward to his next adventure already.

The Fatal Coin A Dan Foster novella A Dan Foster Mystery edition by Lucienne Boyce Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews

This book has received a Discovering Diamonds Review

"...excellent read, highly enjoyable and most highly recommended."
An interesting and well written brief experience into one of Bow Street Runner Dan Foster's adventures and a job that became more than he at first thought. While the whole book was very interesting, I found the ending to be extremely satisfying. As much as I liked how the case turned out, the description of the rector's sister coming to realization of how life really can be was, for me, the most well written portion of the book.

I accepted a copy of this book to read. The review opinions are my own.
Dan Foster, Bow Street Runner and former pugilist, doesn't give up a grudge easily. When he's forced to watch helplessly as a colleague dies at the hands of evil highwayman, Colonel Pepper, the killer is a marked man. Dan is delighted when he's sent on an assignment to Staffordshire to track Pepper down. But the counterfeit Colonel isn't going to make it easy for him.

Another fascinating historical thriller from Lucienne Boyce, this novella is a quick, compelling read.
