“An East End Murder” is a short story mystery set in London, England in 1865 featuring the detective Charles Lennox. He is a high class kind of guy who is solving the murder of Phil Jigg, a low class guy. So we follow Lennox, the gentleman, as he interacts with street people in rough neighborhoods familiar with Jigg.

I found the period stuff quite interesting but the basic story was less than compelling. I give the book two stars out of five. Interesting to a degree but I am not led to try another of this series.
