A review by diana_skelton
The Vesuvius Club by Mark Gatiss

2.0

Although some of the satire is funny and the plot is fast-paced, I find it hard to enjoy properly because of the narrator's eternally misogynistic and unchallenged worldview, as well as some of the more gruesome aspects of the plot (complete with chilling illustrations). For an excellent early 20th century detective series, I will now be rushing back to Laurie King's tales about Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes.
