Cambridge, 1921
When amateur sleuth Jonty Stewart comes home with a new case to investigate, his partner Orlando Coppersmith always feels his day has been made. Although, can there be anything to solve in the apparent mercy killing of a disabled man by a doctor who then kills himself, especially when everything takes place in a locked room?
But things are never straightforward where the Cambridge fellows are concerned, so when they discover that more than one person has a motive to kill the dead men—motives linked to another double death—their wits get stretched to the breaking point.
And when the case disinters long buried memories for Jonty, memories about a promise he made and hasn’t kept, their emotions get pulled apart as well. This time, Jonty and Orlando will have to separate fact from fiction—and truth from emotion—to get to the bottom of things.

I wanted another installment that took place after the guys returned from the war (WWI) and that is exactly what I got. For some reason, I feel the way the war years tempered and matured them adds that extra layer of complexity to an already deeply engaging pair of characters. The author has done a splendid job of being flexible in how she writes these two pre and post war so that their experiences shape them instead of them being stagnant no matter what has gone on around them. And maybe I am also partial to characters who are middle-aged and still showing passion, gumption, playfulnes, and ingenuity as they love and detect together. Yep, I'm a big Orlando and Jonty fan if you can't tell.This is book twelve in the Cambridge Fellows series about a pair of college teachers during the late Edwardian through post WWI eras. They eccentrically refuse to be stodgy as they secretly solve crimes and make a relationship work. While its possible to enjoy the stories out of order and each mystery is solved by the end of the book, there is an ongoing story that has developed about these two characters and those around them through the series.This story takes place in 1921. Orlando and Jonty prepare to celebrate their sixteenth anniversary together even as Orlando pines for a new case to stimulate them. Jonty comes home from a social engagement with just such a gift for his lover. It's a locked door double suicide only the sister of one of the men doesn't believe it.There is little real evidence that doesn't point to suicide to go on and so Jonty and Orlando must carefully sift through all the facts and interview all the witnesses. The case dredges up unpleasant memories from Jonty and Orlando's pasts and the men have to decide whether they can continue down the twisty path to the truth.The story reads like a cozy whodunnit as the actual murder took place prior to Jonty and Orlando coming on the scene. It was a ticklish locked room case and I pointed the finger several directions and was just as confounded as the detectives. It was a strong mystery.I also enjoyed the development of the personal story surrounding the mystery that visits Jonty and Orlando's world at the college and also pulls Jonty's sister, Lavinia in along with Ariadne Sheridan as partners in crime. Their sweet moments as a couple are heartwarming and I love it when they banter.All in all, it was another absolutely delightful and satisfying installment in the series. I would recommend these to folks who enjoy gentle m/m historical romantic suspense.My thanks to Riptide Publishing for providing this book in exchange for an honest review.

Complicated Mysteries Bring the Past Back to Haunt Jonty and Orlando in a Must Read By Melanie Marshall A Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words.com Review (A MelanieM Review)Rating: 4.5 rounded up to 5 stars out of 5Cambridge, 1921LessonsForSleepingDogs_600x900When amateur sleuth Jonty Stewart comes home with a new case to investigate, his partner Orlando Coppersmith always feels his day has been made. Although, can there be anything to solve in the apparent mercy killing of a disabled man by a doctor who then kills himself, especially when everything takes place in a locked room?But things are never straightforward where the Cambridge fellows are concerned, so when they discover that more than one person has a motive to kill the dead men—motives linked to another double death—their wits get stretched to the breaking point.And when the case disinters long buried memories for Jonty, memories about a promise he made and hasn’t kept, their emotions get pulled apart as well. This time, Jonty and Orlando will have to separate fact from fiction—and truth from emotion—to get to the bottom of things.I am always thrilled to find that Jonty Stewart and Orlando Coppersmith have returned for another mystery and here they are back in Charlie Cochrane's Lessons for Sleeping Dogs better than ever.With the last few stories we have been flip flopping back and forth along the time line as laid out in the novels released to date. Lessons for Sleeping Dogs now moves that time line forward once more another year. The men are older, their relationship more established and yet, their love for each other has never been so deep and committed as the one we see here. Orlando and Jonty are starting to think past their time at St. Bride's, perhaps even into retirement age, a startling thought considering we first met them 16 years ago when their world was far more innocent (at least on the surface) and WWI was not even a faint grumbling politically.Charlie Cochrane is easing her Fellows into the aging process with a smoothness most would envy. Its acknowledged, through a gentle gesture or wry remark, a memory to those so sorely missed, lost to war or old age, and then the story moves on as it should. Its a lovely realistic touch and its inclusion makes me appreciate this author even more.Oh the mysteries, yes, more than one. I think this must be the most convoluted of them yet. Shades of Sherlock Holmes! There is an echo of an earlier story but you don't have to have read that to get the gist of it here. Most of that backstory is included. There are several mysteries ongoing at several levels of importance, or so you think. I loved them of course, but I thought that too many puzzles almost took away from the main murder mystery. I get what Charlie was after, but this was a lot to juggle and it was hard for the reader to keep track of all of the facts, places and people while still dealing with the many emotional scenes and fallout for Jonty and Orlando. This aspect of Lessons for Sleeping Dogs kept it from a perfect 5 star rating, but oh it was so close.There is so much darkness here. The aftermath of WWI lingers on in the broken minds and bodies of the soldiers who returned, included Orlando and Jonty. The bleakness and pain of their childhood must also be dealt with once again as parts of their case brings their memories surging back to overwhelm them. Their past histories are alluded to here but this remains another definite reason why theses stories should be read in order (in my opinion). You can only get the full impact of what happened to them in those previous novels not here. Jonty and Orlando have so many issues to deal with, and they must do it using their hearts, their intelligence and their trust in each other. What a outstanding story to have Jonty and Orlando make their reappearance!Yes, it all works out. We get to see some of our favorite secondary characters and Hyacinth Cottage. I absolutely loved it. What's next for Jonty and Orlando? It's anyone's guess and only Charlie Cochrane knows for sure. But one thing is for certain, I will be there, waiting in line, to pick up the story and see what happens next and hoping that the author won't tear my heart out.I highly recommend this story and all the novels in the Cambridge Fellows Mysteries. I have them all listed for you below. Don't miss out on any of them.Cover artist: Lou Harper. I love these new covers. They are my favorite covers so far for the series.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The mystery is how both men ended up dead... By QUEERcentric Books Reviewed by Kiersten Jane for QUEERcentric BooksLessons for Sleeping Dogs was a satisfying, comfortable, and oh-so British read.Charlie Cochrane’s Lessons for Sleeping Dogs is the twelfth book in her Cambridge Fellows series. Though I recommend you read the other books in the series first (especially since details of previous cases and books are mentioned), I was able to follow along quite nicely though I had not read the others myself.It’s 1921 and Cambridge fellows and amateur sleuths Jonty Stewart and Orlando Coppersmith are experiencing a certain amount of growing pains as they settle back into their lives after the Great War. Orlando, in particular, is dealing with his emotional (not to mention physical) scars, as he thought his long-time partner Jonty had been killed.Jonty hits the nail on the head when he suggests that Orlando needs a new case to focus his attention and improve his mood.Luckily for him, Jonty hears of an unresolved mystery that piques his interest. Edward Atherton, suffering from a long-term degenerative disease is said to have contracted the help of Dr. Paul Robertson to help Edward end his life. The mystery, however, is how both men ended up dead by cyanide inside a locked room.Was it an assisted suicide gone wrong? A double suicide? A murder-suicide? A double murder? Or only an accident? One pressing question remains: how do you possibly solve a case that has happened behind closed doors?As it turns out, more than one person had motivation to kill Atherton and Robertson and their case is linked to another double death. But digging in other people’s lives brings up unpleasant memories for both Jonty and Orlando. To continue with the case, they’ll have to face their demons, but at what cost?Lessons for Sleeping Dogs was an excellent mystery. I found myself captivated by every twist an turn. And that ending—well, I won’t spoil it for you.A delightful and satisfying read!
