"A Gentleman's Murder" was a decent attempt to recreate the golden age mysteries style but I found the reading experience was a bit of a drag. A story with great historical background and description of the post-war London, an intriguing plot, but overloaded with information and distractions. I wasn't warm to any of the characters, and back in my head I so wanted to finish the book asap and got it over with.

I'd give the book a 4-star rating, credited to the author's attention to detail, the extensive research, and his old-school writing style but the less-than-enjoyable-reading-experience took half a star away.
