Death and the Cornish Fiddler by Deryn Lake

Death and the Cornish Fiddler (John Rawlings, #11)
by Deryn Lake

I don't usually read set in this era, anything pre Victorian, i do not usually choose to read, so was sceptical, however, i was attracted by the cover and the title, and the synopsis, if you chose to ignore the era, so thought give it a go.

I was pleasantly surprised, it was a pleasant read, very descriptive of the era, and i enjoyed reading about the characters and the storyline was also very good.

The spring of 1765 brings a welcome sense of recovery to the recently widowed Apothecary John Rawlings, but his tentative peace of mind does not last for long: a young child disappears in strange circumstances at the Hellstone Floral Dance and a seemingly omnipresent blind musician is never far away. While this mysterious figure intrigues Rawlings, the case of the missing child alarms him; he feels he must do all in his powers to attempt to rescue the young life.Packed full of colorful historical detail, Death and the Cornish Fiddler is the eleventh book in the highly acclaimed John Rawlings series - a new masterpiece from the queen of Georgian fiction.
