Recommended for all mystery lovers and history fans aged ten or eleven and up.
My thanks to the nice people at Orchard for sending the book. We also have a review of [[The Mendini Canticle (Dr Sigmundus Trilogy) by Brian Keaney]].
A slightly more lighthearted take on Victorian England is [[The Dragon Tattoo (Baker Street Mysteries) by Tim Pigott-Smith|The Dragon Tattoo by Tim Pigott-Smith]].
