5.0 out of 5 stars Gripping historical crime fiction, September 16, 2006
This review is from: The Worms of Euston Square (Paperback)
I couldn't put this book down, it's a real pageturner. Fans of Sarah Waters, Caleb Carr, or indeed Dickens himself will love this brilliant plot set in Victorian London, as the tunnels for the new Underground worm their way under the city streets. The political theme of urban terror is the bass note behind a roaring and hilarious panorama in which the corrupt authorities stink as much as the sewers which our hero, young Scottish policeman Campbell Lawless, has to patrol. Few novels, let alone debuts, manage so finely to combine exquisite emotional accuracy with such a driving, urgent drama, in which we don't find out the crime, let alone the criminal, until it could be too late.
