Love Victorian mysteries and now I have to add Chris Nickson to my list of authors that I follow.
This is the first book that I read by him. Liked the fact that it takes place not in London but in another city in England. He captures the feelings and the atmosphere of Leeds during the 1890.s so well that one could actually feel like they are living in that period of time. The reader feels the utter frustration of Harper and his police force in trying to capture the unknown killer or killers and the acid thrower's name and motive. There are a lot of should have, could have, would have moments in the lives of the police and of their wives.
