    Wax Lyrical
  

*by W***H on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 November 2023*

Another terrific Victorian crime yarn from the pen of J C Briggs. A great deal of research has obviously gone into the fixation at the time with waxwork displays and a visit to Mme Tussaud's by Charles Dickens sets the story in motion after he is invited by a former Judge to view his own personal collection; a series of women who gained public notoriety after being sentenced by him.The subsequent death of the Judge and the absence of one of the waxworks leads to further investigation by Superintendent Jones after it is established that the Judge's demise, although from natural causes, was encouraged by external and deliberate interference.Grotesque waxworks begin to appear randomly all over London as the murderer teases those trying to track him down. However, as with all J C Briggs plot lines, all is not necessarily as it seems as the story weaves it's way through the mire of the capital's back alleys and numerous unsavoury characters.The case, for the first time in the series, also brings matters close to home as Jones' family life is threatened like never before and calls him to question his own vocation and dedication to the job.The ending is as unexpected as it is gruesome. Whatever you think will happen at the conclusion I can almost certainly assure you that you'll be wrong.As always with the author, the research is impeccable. Mme Tussaud's is obviously the most famous of the waxwork museums but it seems that these 'exhibitions' popped up all over the place and were of varying quality. But the Victorians flocked to them. If you ever go to a display and one of the waxworks appears to move ever so slightly, you may actually not be mistaken.Great stuff.

    It is once again up to Dickens and Jones to solve this most bizarre murder  in Victorian London.
  

*by B***A on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 October 2023*

Having read all the other 12 books in this series by JC Briggs, I knew I was in for a good read. The great plus about reading JCB's books, is that, after we finish the story and close the book, not only will we have been royally entertained but will have learned a great deal about the teeming life of London in mid Victorian times. In this latest novel not only do we follow Dickens and Jones on the track of a bizarre murder mystery but we find out about waxwork figures, the manufacture of them and  the Victorians fascination with them. Readers will be amazed at the unusual and interesting facts which the author shares ,We, the reader, can only be impressed by the thorough research undertaken which makes these novels so worth reading.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars
