A review by gillothen
The Vesuvius Club by Ian Bass, Mark Gatiss

3.0

A very Gatiss story: the narrator is Mycroft with Captain Jack Harkness's attitude to sex. The story is set in Edwardian times, with a hefty dollop of steampunk, especially as we near the climax. I didn't find any of the characters particularly likeable, and the twists and turns therefore affected me less than I might have done, while the narrator's self-congratulatory tone was a little too much at times. Enjoyable enough, but not enough for me to want to spend six quid on each of the sequels.
