Why Kill the Innocent by C.S. HarrisMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
The British Navy used what was called impressment, or “press gang” as it was more commonly known, was recruitment by force. In some case men left behind families with no means of support.
In this book, we delve into the life of a young pregnant woman whose husband was taken by such a gang and left to fend for herself and her children. When Hero and Alexi travel during a severe snowstorm to assist in the birth of this women's child, they stumble upon the body of the Princess Carolines piano teacher laying dead, but there is no blood from her wound, so she did not die where they found her. No scandal must prevent the betrothal of Caroline to her dutch suiter, so the crime has been listed as an accident, but Sebastion knows that this is far from the truth. With the help of his wife and friends, they unravel the mystery surrounding this women demise.
I have read several books from this series, and each book is a stand-alone mystery. I have enjoyed each and everyone and hope to read all the books in this historical fictional mystery. Good can prevail over evil.
