4.3 out of 5 stars 158 ratings
This time it’s personal for Inspector Lintott! Perfect for fans of Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie and Dorothy L Sayers…

What connects a society heiress, a renowned magician, a ruthless gangster and a missing girl…?

London, 1906

Inspector John Joseph Lintott is long since retired from the British police force.

But a chance encounter after a magician’s show thrusts him into a web of secrets of lies.

And when his own dearly beloved wife becomes a target, Lintott is forced to get involved.

He follows a notorious American gangster to the bustling streets of San Francisco to recover a missing girl.

But will his personal vendetta get in the way of solving the case?

THE GOLDEN CRUCIBLE is the third crime thriller in a classic historical series, the Inspector Lintott Mysteries, a traditional British detective series set in Victorian London and packed full of suspense.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST!

    I read the entire series, but loved this book the best. I loved Lintott's experiences in learning the city, especially the trolley and the barbershop. The earthquake was done exquisitely. One of the best books I have read in a long while. It's final conclusion was most satisfying.

    Beautiful use of language and characterizations that transport the reader to an earlier era and place, allowing him/her to be there to experience the rise, fall, and recovery of both resilient people and a great city after conflagration.

    The story was great. The author's knowledge of history impressive. Love and expectations between men and women run to the extreme in a race to rescue a kidnap victim.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
    Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2019

    I was disappointed in this book To be honest I got bored and skipped a lot of pages. The first two Inspector Linott books were really good reads with good plots and colorful characters, not so much with The Golden Crucible.

    Unlike any other book I have read. Beautifully descriptive, great story-telling. I'm off to look for more of Inspector Lintott.
