In the small hours of the morning one fall day in 1866, a frantic widow visits detective Charles Lenox. Lady Annabelle's problem is simple: her beloved son, George, has vanished from his room at Oxford. When Lenox visits his alma mater to investigate, he discovers a series of bizarre clues, including a murdered cat and a card cryptically referring to "The September Society".
Then, just as Lenox realizes that the case may be deeper than it appears, a student dies, the victim of foul play. What could the September Society have to do with it? What specter, returned from the past, is haunting gentle Oxford? Lenox, with the support of his devoted friends in London's upper crust, must race to discover the truth before it comes searching for him, and dangerously close to home.

Any additional comments?
This is a pleasant listen. Very well written and an insight into the British Aristocracy of the 1800s. It has the feel of being written in Victorian times. A good detective story with a welcome departure from the sex and violence that many contemporary authors feel obligated to include.Entertaining Victorian Mystery

Great Story

The pace is slow, with the clues unfolding gradually - not a good choice for readers who want a lot of action or an all-knowing detective. But it has heart. And there are a number of historical tidbits as a bonus, if one enjoys that sort of thing, as I do.
The narrator is wonderful, really differentiating the characters with different voicings and traits.
I'll definitely read more in the series.
Enjoyable, human Victoriam detective story

However the characters were not very engaging, I didn't care a jot for the main character's love interest and for some reason the narrator chose to give the main character a voice more suited to a simpleminded, aristocratic idler.
Satisfactory historical mystery

A look at what appears, at first, to be a silly disappearance by an Oxford undergraduate and which then turns into a nasty murder.
Very rose-coloured look at Oxford.
The protagonist does go on a bit about his undeclared love for his neighbour and there are what seems to be unnecessary complications and tensions there, which intrude on the main storyline. (It's probably just me.)
