A Death in the Small Hours, by Charles Finch, is a novel set in England during the Victorian era.

When selected to make the opening speech at the next session of Parliament, he takes up an offer to spend some time at his uncle’s estate in Somerset.

Lenox investigates and finds that the situation is far more complex and sinister than it first appeared.
