Review title: Alienist is a great read!
Product review: A friend of mine suggested I read this book when it first came out. I borrowed the book and then never read it. I wasn't interested. A couple years later, I did. Man, did I wish I'd read it when I'd first had the chance. I usually read biographies, but this made me broaden my horizons.Carr has faithfully recreated New York City just after the turn of the 20th century. He fills his work with believable characters and action. He throws in a few historical events to allow his book to read like non-fiction and then provides us with a serial killer mystery that keeps you guessing and turning the pages.It's not War and Peace folks, but it is a darned good read. I didn't think I would like the idea of a period serial killer story with an antiquated Quincey on the job - but I did.Find time to read this book. You won't regret it.
