Reviews for Laetitia Rodd and the Case of the Wandering Scholar

[vesper1931 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

1851. Mrs Laetitia Rodd has been asked by a wealthy businessman, Jacob Welland, who is dying of consumption to find his brother. A brother, Joshua, who he has not seen for fifteen years. To this end Mrs Rodd goes and stays with friends who live near the last sighting of Joshua. But peace will soon be broken when there is a murder.
Although the second in the series, and my first, it can easily be read as a standalone story.
This is an enjoyable and well-written historical mystery, with its cast of well-drawn characters.

This is a wonderful mystery novel full of rich, dynamic characters. The story kept me on my toes until the very end!

[Krista Wujek Threefoot · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This book is so much more than a murder mystery. It touches on themes of sin and redemption and the possibility for immense good and immense evil to coexist within one person. There were a few points where I felt like the narrative threads were distracting/unnecessary, but the ending was powerful enough to more than compensate. I can’t wait for #3 to come out.
