Dieses Buch ist wirklich interessant. Vordergründig kommt es als Krimi im viktorianischen London daher, in dem einige Jahre vor dem Wüten von Jack the Ripper bereits ein Serienmörder, der schnell den Namen Golem von Limehouse erhält, agiert. Aber tatsächlich ist die Krimihandlung fast schon Nebensache, die Aufklärung bringt wenig Überraschendes zutage.

Der eigentliche Star des Buches ist die Stadt London im späten 19. Jahrhundert und ihre Gesellschaft. Peter Ackroyd lässt hier zahlreiche historische Persönlichkeiten auftreten und zeichnet ein farbenfrohes Bild der Unterhaltungsindustrie jener Zeit, ohne dabei die dunklen Seiten zu verstecken.

Wer eine spannende Krimigeschichte sucht, ist mit diesem Buch sicher nur mäßig gut beraten, wer London und seine Geschichte liebt, wird sich dagegen sehr wohl damit fühlen und sicher noch den einen oder anderen Aspekt finden, der ihm neu ist. ( )

Wonderfully detailed Victorian London is portrayed here, with Marx and Gissing at the British Reading Room, a killer roaming the streets, and music halls. While I found the last chapter a little disappointing, the horror aspect was fitting, the characters well-drawn, and the specifics spot-on (not surprising given that Ackroyd writes books about English history).

London, 1880 and a murderer terrories London and which the newspapers call the Golem. It is for Inspector John Kildare to solve as his investigation leads himinto the world of the theatre.
Very enjoyable, well-written story ( )

I like how each chapter within the book jumps from one perspective to another, told in various styles. Alas, the parts that were far more tell than show made portions of the book less interesting, in particular because some information made me feel as though I was undergoing a lesson. I also feel having previously seen the film somewhat diminished my experience. Still, this is a wonderfully woven Victorian melodrama, perfectly historically blended. Both an excellent book and film, but not one needs to revisit. ( )

Die Mechanik des Romans knirscht jedoch vernehmlich, auch wenn das Pastiche-Getriebe mit etwas Melodram und Schauerroman, etwas Sozialkritik und Lokalkolorit geschmiert wird
