Book Review: 'A Decline In Prophets' by Sulari Gentill

 

Gentleman sleuth Rowland Sinclair’s latest adventure sees him sailing to New York in the company of theosophist Annie Besant & Krishnamurti. After a mysterious murder he returns to Sydney where another series of murders puts Rowland at risk himself.

This richly detailed historical mystery, beautifully bringing 1930’s society to life, is a terrific read.
