''The Last Dickens'' isn't great literature, but it is great fun. Suspend disbelief: simply read and enjoy.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to The Bookbag. We also have a review of [[The Last Bookaneer by Matthew Pearl]].
Further reading suggestion: for more Victorian crime try [[The Worms of Euston Square by William Sutton]]. You might enjoy [[Barefoot on Baker Street by Charlotte Anne Walters]] - we had our doubts.
