A Murder on The Jane Street is a murder – conspiracy mystery featuring a retired New York City Police Commissioner, Fitz Donahue and his team of misfits – a team that includes not only his daughters, Maeve & Rory, his granddaughter, Finn along with some extended friends, including a billionaire, scientists and a group of hacker collective, all intent on protecting the truth.

When Fitz’s neighbour calls him in a “controlled” panic asking for his help and is then later brutally tortured and murdered – he knows that something far sinister is at work than the bungled robbery theory that the police has going on.

It doesn’t take long for him and his team, Bleecker Street Irregulars (love the play on the Baker Street reference!) to understand that the murder is related to a decades long conspiracy relating to the time of Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany.

The whole of the plotline in the book is dedicated to this conspiracy theory – Fitz’s neighbour has a rich history, that he and his team piece together her role in history, a role that put her on the hit list for some very powerful people.

Yet that threat doesn’t stop any one of them to pursue justice for a woman they only know superficially, but have found was a brilliant, courageous woman with a history that could shatter the strongest human being.

The book oscillates between murder investigation and the proving of a conspiracy theory so wild that it would shake the foundations of a nation – with richly diverse characters (yes! We get multiple PoVs) and some new characters being introduced to their team, I so enjoyed the way the team solved the case and involve myself in their personal lives.

The only issue, for me as a reader, was the fact the investigating the conspiracy theory somehow went way beyond technical, to the extent that I had to scroll through those parts; for even I couldn’t understand the intricacies of those technicalities.

The author also gives us a glimpse into the next investigation that Fitz and his Bleecker Street Irregulars would involve themselves in – and it has honestly caught my attention, enough that I will be keeping my eye on it!
