Thank you @Chrissyreadit for recommending this on audio. It was so good! Set in NYC in 1845, Timothy Wilde reluctantly becomes a copper star in the newly formed police force. He is set on the trail of a serial killer when a girl covered in blood runs into him as he returns home. Faye‘s use of the criminal slang of the time, called Flash, works really well. Although set in different historical periods, this reminded me a little of The Alienist.⬇️

Bookzombie Unexpectedly this fills the #politicalintrigue slot for #Booked2019 as politics play a part in the story.
I‘m also a little sad that this is only a trilogy as I already love several of the characters.

Cinfhen Didn‘t know it‘s a trilogy! I‘m definitely going to pick up my print copy beginning of 2020. It‘s been on the #BottomTBR #Booked2020 for too long 5y
Chrissyreadit @bookzombie- I know- it‘s partly why I hadnt listened to the second one, I did not want it to end. But I will soon. 5y
