Okay, okay, I admit, I picked this based on the cover. It’s almost Halloween, I can’t be blamed for wanting a couple of Gothic thrills. Plus, I’ve been playing a lot of Sunless Sea; throw me a book set in Victorian London with a murder mystery in a part of London that isn’t f__ing White Chapel, and I’m yours for the week. Or how ever long it will take me to read it…
The Lady in the Cellar: Murder, Scandal, and Insanity in Victorian Bloomsbury.
A corpse found in a coal cellar, written in prose like a good documentary, from the same author as The Secret Life of Bletchley Park, potentially upturning some presumptions about the Victorian middle class? Add in some dramatic motives and you’ve basically got fives items to put in a pentagram to summon me.
It’s already available on Kindle and Harcover, I got mine through NetGalley – aren’t I lucky. Because what would autumn be without a Gothic true tale of murder most mysterious.
