What would someone named Charles Finch be, if not the author of well-phrased mystery novels set in and around London? I am so glad to have found his "The September Society" in my local Barnes & Noble (see, physical bookstores do still have a purpose) because the story, the characters and his writing are altogether marvelous. His descriptions of buildings and life in London and Oxford are particularly vivid and captivating. Added to that, he seems to be a decent chap (the U.K. version of nice guy, don't you know) as witness his page of advice for writers and his request for feedback and thoughts
Update - How serendipitous and wonderful that on the very day I was talking and writing about how much I was enjoying this book and, in particular, its detailed tour of Oxford - especially the Radcliffe Camera (now the main reading room of the Bodleian Library), the bing.com daily photo is this. Jung would be proud.
