Good characters
Captain Lacey is an interesting character. This book and others in the series are well presented with a storyline that will keep you page turning. I am onto my third Captain Lacey.
Pages missing
It seemed like a great story, but half of the pages were blank!!

Great story
Great story, I found myself reminded of Dickens. A fabulous tale full of twists and turns to find what happened to two young girls who disappeared on a night out. The writer takes us into the dark depths of London's underworld during the late 1800's. Well written.
