review 1: Campbell Lawless moves to London thinking it would be better than life in Scotland. He becomes a police officer and one day finds himself working for Scotland Yard. He becomes embroiled in a case featuring attacks on hydraulics and is soon knee deep in shady businessmen, street urchins and revolutionaries. Aided by a lively librarian, he eventually solves all the interlinking crimes and the novel ends as if his memoirs have been published 50 years later upon his death. It was good although I was a little disappointed as I thought it was going to be the start of a series. Still, I did enjoy it.
review 2: Having read some of the few reviews here, I have to disagree. Yes, there is a lot of detail. No, it isn't a traditional crime novel. BUT, it is a wonderful g... moreuide through Victorian London, filled with all of the details you'd expect from a travel journal. On top of that, the unconventional and ambiguous relationship between crime stopper and criminal is at the very least, novel, if not inspired. I'd highly recommend it. less
