Nope nope nope
Lucian Wentworth is a fine gentleman's son and has lost himself in the London underworld. A murder mystery drives the prodigal's tale forward. However, the path is through such a nasty underworld of drugs and sex that I had to fast forward through the entire middle of the book. I expect clean stories out of Anne Perry. This isn't clean and it isn't Christmasy either. Disappointed.
Content: descriptions of London underworld and what goes on there; heavy drug use; profanities
