Cleofa For those who have read this series, how is it? More than the quality of the books I'm interested in knowing if it contains sex, profanity, excessive violence or gruesome details. I'm looking for something fun and clean, like a Poirot or a Sherlock Holmes book.

Sid Nuncius | 234 comments I've read one in the series: The State Counsellor: Further Adventures of Fandorin. As far as I remember it contained nothing you might object to. However, I found it pretty dull, meaning that I skimmed some of it and I can't remember the rest very clearly, I'm afraid, so treat this with caution.

I've read it and it's a fairly innocuous historical mystery. I would have thought Poirot occasionally has a lot of violence though - Mrs. McGinty's Dead was quite gruesome as I recall!
However, not quite at Stuart MacBride level :)

Cleofa Great, thank you both.
Susan honestly I never read that story of Poirot in particular, but I would admit that sometimes Agatha Christies can be somewhat disturbing, but still nothing too excessive.
