The Lazarus Gate by Mark A. Latham
3.0
This started with John returning from Burma. A former solider suffering from PTSD since he had been tortured and was no addicted to opium. Yeah, it was not good to be John.
The setting was Victorian London. A very nice setting for a mystery if I may add.
And the story is about John getting a new job, a case to work and sets out to solve a mystery.
A nice normal historical mystery.
Paranormal things going on you say? Poppycock. John seconds that.
*read a bit more* Right, I should have trusted that blurb. Balderdash. No, this Victorian mystery just turned weird. And by weird I mean weeeird. There is more things under the heavens than you and I know. John gets beaten, finds an unknown world. Meets new friends, and that mystery is a slippery one. He does question everything and even I turned whaat? another time- Sure threw me a surprise there.
So it is a paranormal mystery, and there is an ending. One crisis is averted, but more seems to be coming. Victorian London is not safe.
