Book Review: Gallows Court

Gallows Court by Martin Edwards

Book: Gallows Court by Martin Edwards

This is my first Martin Edwards book that I have been able to pick up and I would like to thank Netgalley, Source Books, and Poisoned Pen Press for this ARC. #partner. 

The Kind of Golden Age Crime follows Jacob Flint, a crime writer in 1930s London in his newest book. Flint is roped into a circle of crime when chief crime report, Tom Betts, was left for dead in a hit and run accident. Flint finds himself on scene at an apparent suicide thanks to a tip from an anonymous person. From then on, anonymous tips keep bringing him to more crime scenes that may or may not be connected. As Flint tries to get to the bottom of these crimes while talking to investigators, Rachel Saversnake, the daughter of the great Judge Saversnake begins making quite an impression among the investigators as an apparent citizen detective. 

Flint begins to uncover clues that may connect Rachel Savernake to the crimes. With a twist that I didn’t see coming, and a very involved plot, I would recommend Gallows Court to anyone that likes cozy crime novels, Agatha Christie, and Golden Age Crime Novels. 

I look forward to reading more Martin Edwards soon. Once again, thank you Netgalley for this e-galley.
