1906. A fall results in Orlando Coppersmith losing the memory of the last year. Meaning he has no knowledge of his very close relationship with Jonty Stewart. To keep his mind busy he is given a cold case to solve. That of the disappearance of Charles Shaa in 1497.
An enjoyable historical mystery

Another lovely installment in the series.
With both Orlando and Jonty being ill, it is time for a gentler story.
Orlando suffers from amnesia after a fall, so allowing us to relive them 'getting back together' all over again!
Jonty suffers the flu allowing Orlando to show his more caring side, even with his amnesia.
So, with all these illnesses, they can not go gallivanting around Cambridge - so a centuries old mystery is given to them and it unfolds nicely. It also allows us greater insight into Jonty's family.
A lovely cosy mystery.
You are either hooked on the series by now or not got this far, fans will enjoy!
3.5*

Enjoy reading about these two. Like the strong female secondary characters that exist in this male dominated world.

Still love these characters. The secondary characters are also well-drawn and eminently likeable!
