Book Review: ‘Lethal Pursuit’ Is The Next Thrilling Barker & Llewelyn Novel

by | Oct 31, 2019 | Books | 0 comments

Author Will Thomas is back with his eleventh novel featuring the team of Cyrus Barker & Thomas Llewelyn. This time they are given a job directly from the Prime Minister Lord Salisbury in 1892. They need to get a satchel containing an ancient manuscript to Calais. The problem is one man Hilary Drummond has already been killed because of this and there’s an order out there that wants this for themselves and will do anything to get it.

Baker is told to get it there immediately but takes his time to deliver it. He wants to see who might be interested in it and finds people are following them and even threatening their lives. He comes up with plans on how to get it to where it needs to go but mostly keeps it to himself. They also start to investigate the murder of Drummond and have a list of potential people that could be involved, including the father-in-law of Thomas. Just when it seems like Cyrus and Thomas have screwed up the assignment a twist emerges and things might now be as bad as it seems, if they can just stay alive long enough to get the job done.

Another great story featuring these awesome characters of Barker & Llewelyn. These two have great chemistry together and there are often some LOL moments thrown in. The story is a fun one with some twists and turns you don’t see coming. The setting of Victorian London also plays well into this story.

You can pick up Lethal Pursuit in stores on Tuesday, November 12th from Minotaur.
