Title: Great new mystery series - start here, read them all
Review: When Angels Fear introduces us to Sebastian St. Cyr and what an introduction. Yes, for those who have read a Regency romance or two, you'll sense some of the classic characteristics of the "hero" here, but Harris quickly moves beyond that and creates a protagonist that is believable and compelling for any mystery lover. And unlike many romance novelists before, Harris can actually put together a legitimate mystery plot and pull it off. Yes, I acknowledge what at least one other reviewer brings up, there are definitely some contemporary (21st century) attitudes here, especially regarding the treatment of women. It didn't bother me, I'm a 21st century reader! The character development is outstanding, even the "baddies" are superb! Treat yourself to the whole set (so far.) You won't be able to stop once you start.
