Picked this book up today at a church book sale and hope to read it in the next few weeks so it can be released for one of the Challenges by mid-May.
From the back cover: "Young women are disappearing from Covent Garden - - street girls the magistrates care nothing about - - and a kind-hearted Thames River patroller asks Lacey to look into the matter. But that isn't Lacey's only problem. His estranged wife has returned to London looking to end her marriage with Lacey. A divorce would cause a great scandal, but Lacey wishes for one so that they may both pursue their own lives. Then Lacey's seventeen-year-old daughter, Gabriella, disappears. In his desperate search for her, Lacey enlists help from friends old and new in turning over every stone in London. But as he hunts for his daughter, he uncovers secrets about his wife's past - - and his own life - - that he must face before he can stop a killer..."

Read this one on my summer vacation this year - - the first time I have read this Author's work. I like murder-mysteries in old England times, and this book was fairly good. Anne Perry is still my preferred Author for this genre, however I would certainly read another book by this Author in the future. An easy read.
