The Gaslamp Murders pulled me into Victorian London almost immediately. What I liked most was the slow build. At first, [****] seems like an ordinary new home for Thomas and Edie, but little things gradually begin to feel wrong, and the atmosphere becomes darker as the story progresses.
The characters are complicated rather than simply good or bad, and Gladys was especially memorable. The relationship between the people inside the house changes in ways I didn't expect, while the murders unfolding around them keep you questioning what is really happening and who can be trusted.
I also loved how important the house becomes to the story. By the end, [****] feels almost like another character—one that has absorbed everything terrible that happened inside it.
Dark, disturbing and full of twists, this is the kind of Victorian murder mystery that keeps getting more unsettling the further you read. Definitely one for readers who enjoy historical mysteries with a Gothic edge.
Great read, well-written, good build up of suspense. Recommend.
I was drawn in by the cover; that dark, eerie, silent design gave me chills. This left me expecting a great horror/mystery.Well it definately did not disappoint. The beginning while not always easy to follow, reminded me partially of the handmaidens tale. The overbearing male personna with the female being tossed to the side.The story picked up abojt half way through turning into almost a Jack the Ripper vibe. There are gory parts during the second half so use caution if gore is not your thing.I really enjoyed the overall story and I can’t wait to read more of his books.Thank you to booksirens and Kyle Matthews for providing me a readers copy.
This takes place in London late 1800's after Jack the Ripper had stopped his murders. A new killed emerges that places a gas lamp at the head of the victim.We focus on the newlyweds, Thomas and Evie, their little maid Gladys, and the home that they are the first to live in. Right off you know that something is off, but you can't place how or why.For the sake of spoilers, I cannot say too much about the story. But the writing was well done. I loved little Gladys and her Mistress Evie, and then I really disliked Thomas. As it was with men of the time, women were a second thought and only their for their pleasure. This author captured that completely.It was well done and the twist at the end was Brilliant!!
