Title: A disappointing sequel
Product review: I had so much hope for this book after reading the Carr's first book The Alienist. This book however lacked all the elements that made the first on so good. Missing was the in depth psychological profiling, the search for the villian and the anticipation of the climax. This book also did not develop the characters from the first book any further and I did not remember the character of John being as stupid in the first book as he was made out to be in this one. If your looking for a fairly interesting tale with some good description of turn of the century New York this would be a good read. If you loved the first book and are looking a good sequel then pass this one by.
