Summary


Dr. Spilsbury and the Camden Town Killer is the first in an exciting new historical mystery series, featuring legendary forensic pathologist Sir Bernard Henry Spilsbury

London, 1920. There's a killer on the streets of Camden Town, and no woman is safe.

When a woman's body is dragged from the Regent's Canal on a freezing January night, eminent forensic pathologist and criminal sleuth Dr Bernard Spilsbury immediately detects foul play. And when a second woman washes up dead under similar circumstances, police realise they are looking for a dangerous predator. Is someone luring lonely spinsters to their deaths through a newspaper Lonely Hearts column? And can they be stopped before they strike again? With time against them, there's only one thing the police can do...

Excellent Story and narration

I love these kinds of old mysteries, but I am always a bit wary when I see that they are written by modern authors. Here, all is perfectly as it shall be. Married women are refered to as Mrs, and no modern words, profanity or phrases are used.

Now, the story. Its a very well written murder mystery. Huge mansion, bodies in river, lonely hearts club, old newspapers, a young widow, a sleuthing doctor, and a severed leg found in a bin. Likeable characters, fleshed out, with no annoying back stories. I figured out the killer the second (s)he was introduced, but that is just because I have read so many of these kinds of books.

Dr.Spilsbury was a God in his days, no one could go against him. Time has shown that he was just a flawed human being, like every one else. However, in this book, he is at the start of his career, and I can very well believe this is how he was.

Loved this and its follow up 'Dr Spilsbury and the Cursed Bride'. The narrator is excellent - the different voices delineated masterfully, giving the effect of listening to a play. The plot unfolds until the very end, leaving you gripped. Hope there's more to come in this series

Really entertaining

Great story and great narrator. Wasn’t sure if I would like it, generally go for the cosy murders.
So glad I went for it!!
