Another masterclass from Michael Crichton
It was a very gripping book to read with fictional details on crime executed along with facts. Really enjoyed the narration, especially use of words and jargons contemporary to the Victorian period in England.

Nice read, not among the Crichton’s top works but great nonetheless
A good read, well presented, good story. Well connected and well presented as per the times that it is set in. The only downside being that you don’t feel as connected with the story and methodology of crime since it is set in a different era.
So ends up being a bit simple though by Crichton’s standards.
But good read, can definitely go for it.
