Death at the Beggar's Opera is the second in the John Rawlings series by Deryn Lake. It's on sale for £0.99 and $0.99 at Kindle UK and US respectively. A lot of the later titles in the series have been on sale from time to time - it's nice to see a couple of the earlier titles on sale too (the first was on sale not too long ago).

Quote:
John Rawlings, the apothecary with a talent for detective work, and John Fielding, the phenomenal blind magistrate whose Runners formed London’s early police force, make a welcome return in this evocative Georgian mystery.

John Rawlings is among the beau monde enjoying a performance of ‘The Beggar’s Opera’ in Drury Lane when the leading actor – the notorious philanderer Jasper Harcross – dramatically falls to his death on stage. As Rawlings and the Blind Beak hunt for vital clues, they discover a hotbed of rivalry both on and off the stage which produces numerous suspects and questions.

As the search takes on a new intensity, John Rawlings soon finds himself on an intriguing trail of obsession that leads to the dark heart of a cold-blooded murder.
