Death on a Silver Tray (Beau Brummell Mysteries)

But if not time-travel, then by whatever means Ms. Stevens has discovered, and that has allowed her to set down on paper the life and times and adventures of the Beau, we can only be grateful for her generosity in being willing to share such with the rest of us.

The Beau turns out to be exactly as we imagined him to be: warm, sensitive, generous, and possessor of a wonderful dry wit, of which he is as frequently the target as are those others with whom he associates. His attention to details -- both private and public -- and insistence on personal hygiene -- have benefited all of us in many ways, not least of which is this wonderful first adventure. The wait for his second will be entirely too long!
