Title: Really Solid, Entertaining Historical Mystery
Product review: Stylistically similar to the books of Robert Louise Stevenson or Jules Verne, Walker does a fine job of adhering to what's loved about those authors, but weaves in a modern sensibility. The research is well-intergrated in the plot -- doesn't feel hokey or without a payoff. There's a bit of repetition on the reveal of Dr. Tewes (don't worry, that's not a spoiler), but I still found it really a fun read. The seriel killer aspects are background, in favor of characters. You actually care if people live or die here, which is more than I can say for most fodder. If you're looking for the solid work of a great craftsman, this is the place to start.
