Review: A Decline in Prophets (Rowland Sinclair #2)
Gaby Meares
I listened to this as an audio book and it was a lot of fun. Set in 1932 it moves from a luxury cruise liner to New York and finally to Sydney. The main character, Rowland Sinclair is an appealing man who cannot resist poking his nose in where it is least wanted. HIs is a life of privilege, affording him the luxury of pleasing himself most of the time. He is an artist and rubs shoulders with bohemian society, counting Norman Lindsay amongst his friends. This series has much in common with Kerry Greenwood’s Miss Phryne Fisher series.
I will read Book 1 now (this is book 2) and then continue to dip into the series when I feel in need of an entertaining read, with appealing characters, murders that aren’t too gruesome, and a mystery that engages.
