Relation Conducive To Books Ratcatcher (Matthew Hawkwood #1)

A gripping historical thriller introducing Bow Street Runner Matthew Hawkwood - a sexy, dangerous and fascinating hero who hunts down thieves, spies and murderers in the crime-ridden streets of Regency London. Hunting down highwaymen was not the usual preserve of a Bow Street Runner. As the most resourceful of this elite band of investigators, Matthew Hawkwood was surprised to be assigned the case - even if it did involve the murder and mutilation of a naval courier. From the squalor of St Giles Rookery, London's notorious den of thieves and cutthroats, to the brightly lit salons of the aristocracy and the heart of the British government, Hawkwood relentlessly pursues his quarry. As the case unfolds and another body is discovered on the banks of the Thames, the true agenda begins to emerge. And only Hawkwood can stop a dastardly plot that will end British mastery of the seas forever.

Discuss Based On Books Ratcatcher (Matthew Hawkwood #1)
Just arrived from UK through BM. This is a historical and mystery novel which is based on the Regency London. The most interesting part of this book is showing the first attempt of the construction of an undersea boat by Robert Fulton, in December of 1799.  The idea of this American inventor was to use his weapon by the French government a giant the British Navy after Bonaparte fall. The Nautilus was then built at the Perrier workshop in Rouen and was successfully tested and sailed first in July

Great story This is the second time I have read this novel. I really enjoyed it both times. Although I had forgotten the storyline from the first time I read it. Anyhow its a cracking novel well written. Great characters, I highly recommend it. I am going to read the next novel in the series.

This would make a good movie or mini series. It is a thrilling mystery set in London. For some reason, however, it feels a little too long. Perhaps because all the women are uninteresting crones or sex objects.

3.75 starsI went into this book with no expectations. I'd never heard of it but I came across it at a used book store, saw that it was set during the Regency period, and decided to give it a shot. I'm glad I did because I ended up really liking it. It features Matthew Hawkwood, a former rifleman in the British army, who now earns his living as a Bow Street runner. There was some interesting history and a satisfactory ending. I'd like to see future books delve a little deeper into Hawkwood's

Not to bad some decent scenes lots of talking and walking though

I liked this mystery/thriller which reminded me of John Dickson Carr's historical mysteries.This is the first of a series following Matthew Hawkwood, ex-Ranger sharpshooter (a la Sharpe's Rifles) with a shady past and now one of the elite and still shadowy Bow Street Runners. The story gets a bit wacky. It begins with a highwayman and his apprentice robbing a coach and brutally killing the coachman and a courier for no apparent reason. Hawkwood is assigned to find the murderer and this case
