The Denton series by Kenneth Cameron is set in the 1890s and follows an American expatriate writer who has settled in London. Starting with The Frightened Man (2008), the series puts Denton in the middle of criminal cases that draw him into the darker corners of Victorian society. The Bohemian Girl, The Second Woman, and later entries expand both the mystery plots and the period setting.
Seven books make up the series, all published between 2008 and 2013. The books are best read in order as Denton’s personal life and relationships develop alongside the mysteries. Fans of historical crime fiction set in the Victorian era will find a well-researched and atmospheric series here.
