A Sickness in the Soul (An Ashmole Foxe Georgian Mystery) by William Savage

Thank you @WilliamSavage @lovebookstours for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. A sickness in the soul is historical fiction and this is the first book i have read in seris. I found this good read and i liked the characters espeacilly Mr Foxe . The story is well written and I will definitly read more of the books in the series . I liked how the story was set in England in the 1700. The story was easy to read and get into straight the way. If you love murder mysterys you will love A sickness in the soul out now 5 stars. Blurb “Many people wear masks. Some to hide their feelings; some to conceal their identity; and some to hide that most hideous plague of mankind: a sickness in the soul.” Ashmole Foxe, Norwich bookseller, man-about-town and solver of mysteries will encounter all of these in this tangled drama of hatred, obsession and redemption. Set in the England of the 1760s, a time of rigid class distinctions on the cusp of revolution in America and France, when outward wealth and display hid simmering political and social tensions. Norwich had already lost its position as England’s second-largest city. Its one dominant trade in weaving fine cloths was also in jeopardy from the machine-operated mills being built in the north. The rich feared for their wealth and the poor feared for their livelihoods, miserable as they were. Poor Foxe is rapidly faced with no less than three murders, from the aristocracy to the seeming senseless professional assassination of a homeless vagrant, Foxe must deal with all levels of people, from the rich, idling their days away in magnificent mansions, to hungry children begging, stealing and prostituting themselves on the streets. Can Foxe find his way through the lies, half-truths and deceptions? It’s going to call on all his skill and intelligence to unravel these of baffling deaths and reach the truth of the sickness which seems to be infecting his city’s very soul?
