Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 04 17, 2012
William King has depicted Victorian London in a very convincing manner.  The hero of the book, Jack Brodie, is flawed, but he has enough good qualities to make you respect him, if not like him.  The story of this book is well thought out and well planned by the author.  I had a difficult time putting this book aside before I finished it.Mr. King usually writes in a genre that I don't normally read.  As far as I can determine, this is his first foray into historical fiction. It is well researched and presents a side of life from this historical period that Dickens and others didn't capture.  When you read this, you'll smile at Mr. King's references to Dickens.  I sincerely hope that he continues the character of Jack Brodie, or at least, continues to write historical fiction.I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes mysteries and history.This review is of the Kindle edition of this book.
