Title: Vivid detail does not make a story
Review: There is no doubt that the author of this book will make you feel as if you are walking the streets of Victorian London. Every last smell, sound and visual image will flash before your eyes (this includes everything you never wanted to know about 19th century excretement, skin diseases, sewage, and contraceptive methods). The characters are enticing enough, and I found it easy to stay with the book waiting for all the details to come together to form a plot. It never really happened. It seems as if the author spent all available resources on researching and then showing off what he had learned about London society but never mapped out the course of the story. There is more fun to be had in the world of Dickens.
