Follow the Van (The Delamere Files Book 3) Kindle Edition

by Jackson Marsh (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars (155)

Success in this business isn’t about what you know, it’s about what you don't know.

When the eligible Eddy Hawkstone enlists Jack Merrit's services to recover a stolen book, it seems like a straightforward task. However, the clues lead Jack into the turbulent world of the music hall, where he uncovers the unnerving tale of his father's death at the feet of Marie Lloyd.

Desperate to prove himself to his mentor, Jimmy Wright, Jack finds himself entangled in a web of sexual temptation, loyalty, and fraternal bonds, all while grappling with his emotions for Larkin Chase.

To triumph, Jack must confront the shadows of his past and embrace the realities of the present. The path is fraught with danger and self-discovery and leads him to a twisting theatrical climax worthy of a melodrama.


Follow the Van is the third book in the Delamere Files series. The books should be read in order.

    At last the third in The Delamere Files series has arrived and it was worth the wait.
    Jackson Marsh takes us on a new mystery for the detectives Jack and Will Merrit of the Clearwater Detective Agency.
    I felt as though I was on an historical tour of the Victorian music halls along with the detectives, as they pieced together their current case.
    Along the way they uncover the criminal, yet famous past of their dead father who was well liked throughout the music halls of London.
    As with all his Clearwater characters, (some of which make an appearance in this book), Marsh brings them to life with his wonderful story telling and humor.
    In this book we find Jack and Will more adjusted to their new life. Will especially is blossoming into a “precise” yet brilliant detective, a close second to Sherlock Holmes.
    Jack is determined to solve his first case while torn between his relationship with Chase and his rutted attraction to his new client.
    As we are immersed in the story, the plot crescendos to the finale where Jack unveils the who, how and why of the case with a shocking revelation.
    I am a staunch fan of Jackson Marsh and highly recommended this book.
    It would also be beneficial to read the first two books in this series beforehand for continuity.

    Thank you Jackson Marsh, I am looking forward to “Where there’s a Will”.

    Book 3 of the Delamere Files (Follow the Van) is as good as or better than the first two. I tend to finish one series before starting another, so I haven't begun the Larkspur or Clearwater series yet but look forward to them.
    I love the temptation Jack faces with Eddy, the development of his relationships with Will and Larkin, the development of his detective skills. I also love Will's development. And I love the believable way the author provides details of the time (late Victorian), without making readers feel he's giving us a tutorial or proving how much research he's done. It all feels quite natural.
    Highly recommended.

    3rd in this series by Mr. Marsh. At the very beginning of the story he tells us what it took 80% of the book for the characters to discover. Yet, he creates enough of puzzle with side stories to keep you reading. Always there is the exciting near death end for the heroes. With the Merrit brothers he created two very enduring characters.

    If Will doesn't amaze and annoy in equal measure, then Jack's version of self-denying his own worth will keep you breathless with his quick-witted thinking and death-defying fears. Confession, this is my second reading of this tale of Sherlock like thinking and comic book hero making. And I still stayed up late reading. Good reading, fellow like minded gents.

    This series from Jackson Marsh is as exciting and fun to read as it gets. The amount of historical research that he does as an author astounds me... And how he blends that into his storytelling, along with some of the best mysteries I've ever read, is simply amazing. This novel is no exception. It's beautifully written, exciting and somehow really puts the reader right into the middle of the story. The surprise ending will leave you breathless. I absolutely adore Jack and Will as the main characters. It's another stunning work from Jackson Marsh. Highly recommended!

    You might be caught unaware when picking up Book 3 of the “Delamere Files” to think that you would be reading a book about Jack and Will in hot pursuit of another hansom cab owner… a van driver more suited to deception and deceit rather than detection and decency, as Jack and Will are. But this is not a book about the van that is a “vehicle” but rather the van that is a book! In fact this is more than a book about a book as you soon realise in the opening chapter when we once again take another trip to the theatre. Over the last two books in this series we have watched Jack and Will grow both personally and professionally thanks to the help and support of Larkin and Jimmy. But in this book we see Jack and his brother take on a case of their own, and through this we see two fledgling detectives begin to emerge in their own right.

    Much like book 3 in the "Clearwater Mysteries” series, book 3 in "Delamere Files” has its story centred around a West End theatre, but that is probably where the similarities end. Whereas "Unspeakable Acts" opened with an exhilarating backstage tour around a glorious opera house, "Follow the van" throws the reader into a loud, crowded theatre, thick with smoke, sweat and the unwashed masses. A million miles from the highbrow charity gala Lord Clearwater hosted for the King back in the Clearwater Mysteries. But with the Delamere Files series we are following a working class man who is trying to lift himself up from the ashes of his former life and, together with his brother, make a new life for himself in a world that feels as alien to him as the slums must have felt for Lord Clearwater.

    The plot focuses on the search for a stolen "van" and takes Jack on journey into his father's past while steering him on a course for his future. With the introduction of a new client Edwain “Eddy” Hawkstone, Jack finds himself drawn to this young man and the interesting case he brings with him. With little clues to go on, Jack begins an investigation into who might have stolen the “van” and what was contained within it. During the investigation he is forced to re-examine who his father really was but also what it is he really wants for himself and his future with Larkin. Just like in other Jackson Marsh books, the young hero finds temptation and confusion around nearly every corner and you find yourself willing Jack to make the right decision. Thankfully for the reader, we have Will on our side as he tries to scupper Eddy’s salacious advances towards Jack, and tries to push his brother closer to a long term relationship with the ever loveable Larkin.

    As in the previous two books we still see Jack drifting off into space as he gets lost in his own head, over thinking everything in the way he always does. Sometimes it's amusing and other times it is quite informative. None more so than when he takes his first ride on the newly opened London Underground. As something most of us have done without a care in the world we see it through fresh eyes as someone might have viewed it back in the 19th century…terrifying! But Jackson Marsh uses this insight to give us a wonderful historical glimpse into how the early tubes ran back in the 1890s, the pollution, the danger, the 3 class travel system. This is one of the many things the author adds to these books which make them more than the sum of their parts and some of the most incredible reads out there.

    During Jack’s investigation we get to meet a whole host of interesting characters, some new and some we have met in other Jackson Marsh books. We get another run-in with Dr Markland, who was much more funny in this encounter and less frustrating than when we met him back in “One of a Pair”. I am guessing bringing in returning characters from previous books, gives the author more chance to “fine tune” his characters to the benefit of the reader. That said, we do get some great new characters too. I particularly like the more minor characters from the stage door clerks to the theatre groupies. These little glimpses of life help bring this book alive in my opinion. Even when they are just described from Jack’s recollection of his past, they really pop in the imagination and make this world on a page brim with life. What also brings this book to life is when Will joins him in his investigation around the 2/3rd mark. It is not to say this book was boring up until that part, it is just the dynamic between the two really lifted this book and started to propel it at some speed.

    What I do love about this series is the way Jackson Marsh will often take a completely separate narrative thread and weave it perfectly into the main narrative of the book. He'll take you on a journey with a seemingly unconnected side character who will lead you back into the main body of the plot, bringing with them a depth and breadth that makes the world in these books seem all the more real, and Jackson Marsh's writing all the more poetic for it. The introduction of Bob Hart is a perfect example of this.

    One the things that I have also noticed about these books is the way Jackson Marsh uses language to great effect, in particular the spoken word. With the focus clearly on Jack and his first case, we get much more of the guttural East End dialect in his written prose this time around. He's littered the text with old sayings and colloquialisms, some of which are still in use today. It's so refreshing to be reading a British author who not only plunders our rich history, but also our diverse language too. This, in my opinion, makes him one of the best writers currently working today.

    Aside from a few chapters which overly indulge a theatre hand’s ramblings, and which didn't really work on the page for me, this was a great addition to the Delamere Files and has left me hungry for more. With his usual flare, Jackson Marsh brought the book to an exciting climax that was filled with adrenalin and nail biting thrills. As with any good book in a series, he whetted our appetite for the next instalment and teased us with what might be to come. I’m hoping with book 4, "Where there's a Will" we get to see Will centre stage in that narrative as I loved hearing his voice in "1892" and am eager to hear more from him. The glimpses we got of his work at the Clearwater Foundation Mission and his connection with the boys there, were really intriguing and left me wanting to know more about this fascinating young man. The way these books come to life when he is on the page makes me more convinced than ever that he could carry the next book on his own. Maybe he is ready come out from beneath Jack, and Jackson’s, protective arm and take the lead role for himself.
