Sir John Fielding and Jeremy together again


Murder in Grub Street by Bruce Alexander is the second book in the Sir John Fielding mysteries.  The time period is the eighteenth century in London.  This time there is a murder of six people at a printers home and place of work.  The Crabb family and two of Mr. Crabb's apprentices were brutally murdered.  A mad man was also found at the scene with a bloody axe but doesn't  know why or how any of this happened.  Thirteen-year-old Jeremy Proctor and the blind Sir John are on the case to solve this evil massacre.  This series is becoming one of my favorites.  Bruce Alexander transports you to the eighteenth century with his brilliant descriptive detail.
