a fantastic read
By tregatt
The third installment in the Captain Lacey Regecy-era mystery novels, "The Glass House" lived up to my every expectation. I had been really looking forward to reading "The Glass House" ever since I had finished "The Hanover Square Affair," and was pleased to note that this Captain Lacey installment proved to be as riveting and as absorbing as the previous two books.
When the body of a blonde woman in pulled from the river, Captain Lacey's old sergeant, Pomeroy, who now works as a Bow Street Runner, ask Lacey to view the body just in case the dead lady turns up someone Lacey knows: the actress Marianne Simmons. The dead lady turns out not to be Marianne, but Lacey is moved by her death nevertheless, especially when it turns out that she was murdered before being dumped into the river. Further investigation reveals that the dead woman was an ex-actress and current wife of a dried up stick of a lawyer, Mrs. Amelia Chapman, but who was known to her lover (Lord Barbury) and everyone else, as "Peaches." Further investigation also reveals that "Peaches" had a taste for danger and excitement, and that she was a regular attendant of the Glass House, a den of iniquity that catered to the whims and sordid tastes of the upper classes. On the very night of her murder, Lord Barbury was expecting Peaches at the Glass House, but she never showed up. As far as Lacey is concerned, Peaches' death could either be laid at the door of her cuckolded husband, Chapman, or her lover, Lord Barbury. But in order to find the evidence to capture a murderer, Lacey will have to infiltrate the Glass House, come face to with a level of sordidness he's not used to contemplating about, as well as face an old and dangerous enemy, James Denis. Now, Lacey has two tasks: finding Peaches' murderer; and closing down the Glass House and so getting even Denis. But could Lacey in his zeal to cause Denis some inconvenience be overlooking some aspects of Peaches' murder?
Swiftly paced and suspenseful, "The Glass House" was a compelling read from start to finish. Ashley Gardner does a wonderful job of evoking the atmosphere and feel of the age; the descriptions of London are vivid and captivating, and her character studies (esp that of her irresistible and melancholic hero) lifelike. The mystery subplot was nothing to be sneezed at either, being very intriguing and absorbing; and written in a very engaging manner so that one was completely hooked from the very beginning. All in all, I'd vote "The Glass House" as a brilliant read. I will admit to be slightly confused though: the plot synopsis at the back of the book describes Captain Gabriel Lacey as a cashiered officer. If so, how can he still be a half-pay officer, still feted by Society as a bit of a hero?

A great series.
By L. J. Roberts
Gardner does an excellent job of portraying Regency England. His character is the essence of honor, yet is by no means perfect and I find myself wanting to know more about him. There are excellent secondary characters who provide a strong sense of the period. The plot held me from beginning to end. This is a series which has improved with each book, and I find myself anxious to read the next installment.

More of the Same.
By L. PIERCE
I have to say I agree with just about everything reviewer J. Lesley said. I've also decided that I really don't like Captain Lacey much. I have to admit that I didn't like Anne Perry's William Monk at first either, but he's changed and evolved and now he's one of my favorite detectives. Gabriel Lacey seems stuck in a rut. I sympathize with his depression which he would not be able to control, but he should be able to control his disfunctional relationships. He's hypocritical in his relationship with Lucius Grenville. He's willing to accept Grenville generosity when when it suits him (generally when others don't know about it or Grenville gives him the face-saving idea Lacey's doing him a favor) but if others know about it Lacey's pride won't let him accept it. It was the height of stupidy that Lacey felt he had to repay Grenville 300 guineas he could not possibly afford, even though Grenville was participating in the investigation and willingly provided the funds. Then there's Lacey's relationship with Louisa Brandon. In that relationship she's as disfunctional as he is. She stringing two guys along because appparently she can't decide which one she really wants. But she can't understand why, when she keeps pushing them together, they don't get along. Why she thinks they have to get along I don't know. Either she or Lacey need to decide to end things for the sake of their sanity or to just meet as friends when her husband's not around. J. Lesley was right when she said it was pretty obvious who did it-- he was the last speaking part standing. I'm hoping the next books are better written and less frustrating. I find myself wishing the main character was Grenville, whom I find much more interesting. And I really hope we see less of Lady Breckenridge. I think it would be difficult to create a more unappealing character.
