review 1: This mystery was one of the most evocative books of the dark side of Victorian England I have ever read. It not only gave the reader apicture of the teeming masses of poor, sick and hopeless inhabitants of London, but it also presented how precarious someone's hold onmiddle-class safety could be. The detective and his home life, the plot, that English urban setting were all so well created.
review 2: This wasn't bad. Seemed rather old for a book from 2011, but since it was the setting was Victorian period in London it probably should be.A man with a secret hires Jack Brodie to find out who robbed his home and to recover the items taken, no questions asked. The man's ward, who is spoiled and used to getting her own way, has a tendency to interfere with the inv... moreestigation process.I like the setting although it seemed kind of a plodding story. It didn't take that long to read, but it seemed kind of hard to get into some of the story at times. less
