review 1: I'm going back and forth between a 3 and a 4 on this, and I'm going to settle on a 3. I loved the way Morrell drew me into 19th century London, and how historically accurate everything (including the slang) seemed to be. I also liked that the villain's identity was kept secret for so long - and how it tied back to earlier murders. The reason I'm not going for the 4 is because I found the "John Williams - John Williamson" link to be stretching my credulity.
review 2: Definitely atmospheric, mystery was so-so, got a little a tired of the author dropping in Historical Facts at the weirdest times.... It was strange for a character to be in the middle of an intense hunt for a killer and then pause to say, "did you know..." and go off on some tangent about the con... morestruction of a park, etc. I appreciate it when authors do extensive research for their novels (and clearly Morrell did!), but I prefer that research to be incorporated subtly and not in strangely-placed info-dumps. less
