I throughly enjoyed this dark Victorian murder mystery. Full of gothic atmosphere, suspense and intriguing. The perfect mix of historical fiction and a thriller; it had so many twists and turns!! Really good! 👍

Four times I was tempted to Bail but I stubbornly continued to the end. With some of the characters from The 'Fourteenth Letter' appearing in this novel to give it a familiar feel it was not to my liking. Well written with a cast that all had something to hide or had sinned in one way or another I found it to be utterly depressing. Centered around the trials and tribulations of the Lawyer, Cage Lackmann there is just too much self indulgence.
When you love to read and your friends and relative makes you happy ❤❤❤❤
Birthday's book haul 🤟🏻
Aren't they beautiful?
I am posting one book per day from my to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it. Some will be old, some will be new - don't judge me, I have a lot of books.

This historical mystery hits all the right notes and has an anti hero as the lead.
I thought this was an excellently written historical mystery. The reader finds themselves immersed in the darker side of Victorian London. To say the MC is a flawed character is an understatement, but you find yourself on his side. 4🌟

Very atmospheric and dark historical crime fiction set in 1882 London. Our central character, Cage Lackmann, is a lawyer who struggles with being bought and paid for by a Ukrainian crime lord. He is tasked with solving the murder of a young man with circumstances eerily similar to a case 5 years prior of which his client was acquitted. There‘s a little of everything here...lurid secrets, double cross, and a plot that is both twisty and complex. 🔻
