1 post | 1 read
An horrific discovery on a Whitechapel construction site suddenly brings the prospect of death and disaster to the whole of 1870 London. In a race against time, the Scotland Yard detective division must stop the city from descending into chaos. It will take every ounce of their ingenuity to track down the individuals behind what might prove to be the greatest threat to life and limb for centuries.
Elsewhere, London's only female private detective, Miss Lucy Landseer is tasked with tracking down an abandoned child, who is set to inherit a huge fortune upon the death of her mother. Will she manage to find the lost heiress in time to stop the inheritance from going to her unscrupulous uncle Jasper Broxton?

Book 11 in the Victorian Detective series. Compared with the previous 10 it was a disappointment. Gone were the serious crimes and a style of writing that I liked. It was replaced by family greed, financial fraud, a non-existent plague and a lack-luster storyline. I felt the style of writing was also not up to it's usual standard. Even the detectives only had a superficial crime to investigate. Let's hope book 12 reverts back to a quality read
