3.0

This book owes a lot to Dickens, Thackeray and the like, a fact which the author freely acknowledges. It's a lot like the previous book, The Meaning of Night, in its evocation of Victorian London. I seem to be in a very Victorian mood at the moment! Anyway, you've got mad widows, train robberies, murders, suspect lawyers, the criminal underworld and all sorts. A very good book.
