The essence of this intelligent
and brilliantly plotted book is the fascinating
premise: the possible discovery of the casket of
Alexander the Great. The author pulls you right
in. The opening scenes: one in Constantinople in
1204 A.D., the
second in a present-day Irish 'sidewalk cafe,' are
masterful. Then he slices right to the heart of
it all, and the hunt is on. The story is compact
and well-paced, as it weaves past and present, and
combines thriller with mystery. A great
read. My congratulations to Tom
Doyle.

Middle
Peninsula author Thomas Doyle has written Who Is
Angela?, an engaging murder mystery set in the
early part of the 20th century.
The quiet Isle of Charts, a
small fishing village beside the Irish Sea, is
shattered when young and pretty Angela Whyte is found
dead in the ruins of an old monastery. Local
magistrate Colonel Devereaux, uncomfortable with the
idea of investigating a murder, calls on Scotland Yard
to help out.
Chief Inspector Evan Briscoe,
facing ghosts of his own, comes to town and tries to
fit the pieces of the puzzle together. Looking beyond
the obvious suspects, Briscoe tries to solve the
murder by discovering as much as possible about the
victim. He uncovers some surprising
facts.
Fast-paced and well-written,
Who is Angela? will keep readers entertained
through the final page. This book is the first in a
planned series of four Edwardian mysteries featuring
Inspector Briscoe. Briscoe is a likeable character,
and I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the
series.
