What Readers Say
-
This novel gallops along — it's completely absorbing! Hard to put it down. The authors clearly know a lot about the era. They have chosen just the right details to give this story depth, color, and realness. Each character is sketched quickly, but very precisely: you know exactly who these people are.

A fun, atmospheric mash-up of Dracula and Jack the Ripper. An intriguing and suitably creepy cast of Victorian London characters and an ending that was both unexpected and inevitable. Wonderful!
