This is Finch's first novel, as well as the first book in the  Charles Lenox series.  Set in Victorian England, A Beautiful Blue Death is a murder mystery -- Lenox's good friend, Lady Jane, is distressed when she learns of her former housemaid's apparent suicide and asks Lenox to investigate.  I'm giving it 3 out of five stars, but I do plan on continuing the series.
