Murder At the Music Hall: (Auguste Didier Mystery 8)
“Perhaps the fresh morning air would clarify the butter, distinguish fantasy from fact, and there was no menacing threat lurking in the shadows. Perhaps Egbert’s quest to track down the missing cross would lead him far away from the Old King Cole.

True, this was not one of those autumn mornings about which Keats had waxed so lyrical, but the air was full of early promise.
