This was a very well-written mystery, set in the 1840's with Edgar Allan Poe as a main character. I liked it enough that I ordered the next in the series right away. Not for anyone that has trouble figuring out what an unusual word means by the context. I have never seen so many words in one book that I had never seen before! LOL

While I liked the plot well enough, and it is interesting to imagine some mystery solving, adventurous Poe righting the wrongs of the world, I found at times the author to be a bit too verbose for my liking. What could have been an exciting can't-put-down read instead was something that inspired an on-again-off-again reading
