First came Plague, now comes Fire. The epic tale of the hunt for a serial killer threatening London’s rich and poor during the Great Fire of London. Perfect for fans of S J Parris and C J Sansom.

Fires don’t start by themselves. They need someone to light them.

As the Great Plague of London loosens its grip at last, Charles II’s court moves back to the city, the theatres reopen and a new year arrives.

1666. It cannot be more terrible than the previous year, surely?

But it can.

What’s more it seems that a serial killer who stalked hand in hand with the Plague might not be dead after all. Together with actress Sarah Chalker, highwayman William Coke and thief-taker Pitman come together as one, determined to stop the brutal murder of London’s rich and poor once and for all.

But another threat is on the way. It hasn’t rained in five months. London is a tinderbox – politically, sexually and religiously. The Great Fire of London is about to ignite. And the final confrontation between Coke, Pitman and Sarah Chalker and their murderous adversary will be decided against a background of apocalypse.

A novel that really brngs the events of 1666 alive

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 September 2016

Verified Purchase

Do not think 'oh, not yet another Fire of London novel' and set this one aside - read this one and don't bother with the others! Apart from the fact that Mr Humphreys is a superb, evocative, and imaginative writer, this story really brought the events of that September in 1666 100% alive. Chris Humphreys has produced the next best thing to a time machine!

Intrigue and adventure

I read plague first and so enjoyed that I went straight to fire. I was not let down, a great read, well researched and constructed. There is something in the writing that has modernity and nineteenth century language well mixed to give a feel for the time it set in.

Extremely good book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 November 2016

Finished reading this last night - absolutely fantastic book. It is a follow-up to his book called Plague about the Great Plague just before the Great Fire of London, and also has the Fifth Monarchists causing mayhem and trying to assassinate King Charles II. Very, very, good. I was sorry to reach the end!

A lively read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 April 2017

Verified Purchase

I wasn't sure about the style of writing to start with but the plot certainly livens up, especially as it is driven forward by the spreading fire. I enjoyed the characters and the plot, and especially the backdrop of the Great Fire, but at £8.99 for the paperback I'm sure the publisher could do better on the price

Hits the mark - again

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 December 2016

Verified Purchase

Chris Humphreys is one of my favourite authors. Everything I have read has been well paced, with good characterisation and enjoyable. Historically accurate, as you would expect, well researched and I recommend it to anyone with even a fleeting interest in the reign of Charles II.
