The Inklings Detective Agency

by John R. Kelly

Rating: 5 star rating

I really enjoyed The Inklings Detective Agency. The book takes real-life authors Tolkien, Lewis, Agatha Christie, and Dorothy Sayers and turns them into a team of detectives investigating a series of ritualistic murders in 1930s England.

Tolkien is the careful thinker of the group, while Lewis is more willing to follow dangerous leads. Christie and Sayers use their sharp observations and knowledge of crime to help piece together the clues. As they dig deeper, they uncover secret societies, hidden motives, and a murderer who is always one step ahead.

I liked how the mystery kept moving without getting too complicated. The historical setting was interesting, and it was fun imagining these famous writers working together. By the end, the killer is revealed, the murders are explained, and the case is fully solved. Tolkien, Lewis, Christie, and Sayers all play important roles in bringing the investigation to a close, and their friendships are stronger because of what they went through.

If you enjoy historical mysteries and seeing famous people placed in fictional adventures, this is a fun and entertaining read. I'd definitely pick up another book featuring this group of detectives, I think this would make a great long-term series.

Thank you, NetGalley, Penguin Random House Christian Publishing WaterBrook, and the author, John R. Kelly for the book review consideration. All opinions are my own.
