A Conspiracy of Paper by David Liss

5.0

This is the best book I have read in the past couple of years. I read it because it was recommended by Sarah Waters, my other favorite contemporary author. It's a historical mystery, set in 18th century London. It is the result of the author's PhD research, and is amazing both in content and style. It is a gripping story, well written, and feels as if it could have been written in the 18th century.
