The hold this book has on me is unhealthy. I'm by no means a mystery snob so take this as you will, but I'm a big fan of the flavor of mystery

with fantasy elements

that Preston & Child create. This book specifically has an interesting historical background and atmosphere, as well as a fun and at times extremely tense mystery.

The murders in this book use a lot of medical terminology and in-depth descriptions. This is especially prominent in a scene where a character

gets operated on while still conscious

fast-paced

5.0

I'm irritated that they had Smithback break the wavy glass, and I also think it's a bit dumb the the scientist who lived in the house didn't have the green wallpaper from the mid 19th century that is likely to be poisonous removed.
