About this listen

"No mystery writer except perhaps Anne Perry is as successful as Charles Finch at evoking the atmosphere of Victorian London." (Washington Post)

From best-selling author Charles Finch comes the third and final in a prequel trilogy to his lauded Charles Lenox series.

London, 1855. A young and eager Charles Lenox faces his toughest case yet: A murder without a single clue. Slumped in a third-class car at Paddington Station is the body of a handsome young gentleman. He has no luggage, empty pockets, and no sign of identification on his person. And putting together the clues to the mystery of the man's identity only raises more questions, when Lenox discovers that the crime has a significant connection to America.

As he seeks to solve this impossible case, the young Lenox must confront an equally troublesome problem in his personal life. Kitty Ashbrook, beautiful and cultured, appears to be his soulmate - but love comes with obstacles of its own. In tandem, this fiendish early case and passionate, deeply felt affair will irrevocably shape the brilliant detective and thoughtful gentleman Lenox is destined to become.

Written in Charles Finch's unmistakably witty and graceful voice, The Last Passenger is a cunning, thrilling, and deeply satisfying conclusion to this trilogy of prequels to his best-selling Charles Lenox series.

A gentle story, despite being about several murders and the slave trade. It is the kind concern that the characters show each other, the development of the main character, Charles Lennox, and the descriptions of the London of the 1850s which carries the story along. Also, the reader is pitch perfect, a kind and melodious voice, if a bit awkward, much like Charles Lennox himself.

A delightful surprise

Suggest this novel is identified as one of the prequels as it pre dates the first book published in terms of chronology. As the daughter of a mystery writer, I love all mysteries and particularly well researched historical mysteries. And Finch adds a nice bit of anecdotal interest with his historical wordsmithing! Somehow his narrator has tempted me to move to his audiobooks which really bring his stories to life - brilliantly done.

Totally great and timely plot!

Good

I love Charles’ detective work and thoughts he shares.
The slavery parts remind me of our country’s shameful history were heartbreaking all because of greedy old white men.
The author always does a good job of wrapping up the story and the narrator is wonderful. I would listen to this whole series over again!

I have thoroughly enjoyed every book in this series.
