Fire, Burn

Fire, Burn, by John Carr, 1957.
A neat little locked-room mystery novel transposed to the late Georgian era, combined with a tragic romance, combined with a mystical time travel element.
Quite engaging. It held me to the end.
I have two criticisms. The explanation of the mystery seemed a little contrived, and I never got the full sensation of being submersed in a different era. It came close, but never quite moved beyond being a contemporary story with historic trappings.
P.S. If you don’t like these little reviews, let me know.
