Paul’s Cathedral and build his own church with his own design for a dome. In 1666, Christopher Wren has his own obsession. It’s a brilliant killer with an obsession for art, and an unnatural obsession with churches designed by Wren. Parker and O’Leary can brush that off as a prank, but when a body is found at the next fire, they know they have a killer. Someone burned a wooden figure, and left it by Sir Christopher Wren’s monument to the Great Fire. It’s no surprise when she’s teamed up with DI Colm O’Leary of Scotland Yard when they’re called to an unusual case. Now, she’s “the moth” for the Crime Investigation Directorate of the City of London Police force. Hawtrey vividly portrays both time periods.ĭI Nigella Parker has terrible memories of a fire when she was a child. While I found the contemporary police procedural more fascinating, the storyline that dealt with the Great Fire of London of 1666 was raw and tragic. Three hundred fifty years separate two pairs of detectives, but they’re linked more closely than either would suspect in Evie Hawtrey’s intriguing mystery, And By Fire.
