This is a new (to me) series, set in the Restoration period at the end of the 17th century (rather than the beginning, as Marston's series about Elizabethan players is). The main characters are an architect and a Puritan constable, and it is set in London in 1667. I wasn't enthralled. The theatre is involved again, and there's damn little architecture going on. The characters are pretty much stock (i.e. cardboard) and the plot was equally basic. I think I need to stop reading Marston for awhile.
