I have reviewed the sequel more extensively, and as this set reads as a singular story, that review will serve for both. ( ) os crÃmenes de Jack el Destripador han convertido Londres en un auténtico caos. Y resguardado a la sombra del asesino más famoso de todos los tiempos, uno aún peor ha cometido sus propios crÃmenes casi en secreto, al margen de las primeras páginas de los periódicos, con una crueldad inimaginable incluso para el más demente de los hombres. Este segundo asesino es más oscuro que el propio Jack, más imprevisible y, sobre todo, más frÃo. De hecho, ¿es posible que, de algún modo, los crÃmenes de Jack sean tan solo un efecto secundario de los de este monstruo? The story in Mayhem is about "The Thames Torso Murders of 1887-89" with a paranormal twist to it. I didn't know before I read Mayhem that Jack the Ripper wasn't the only killer on the lose at the time. Sarah Pinborough has taken real characters and used them in this book, which was a great move to make. Police Surgeon Dr. Thomas Bond who is the MC in this book worked on the case IRL. I had forgotten what the book was about when I started to read it. I didn't even check up the book on GR to refresh my memory so I was a bit surprised when the book turned paranormal and frankly I would have preferred an ordinary crime novel instead of paranormal one. But it was a good read, not as good as I had hoped it to be. I would have preferred a real flesh and blood killer instead of what I got. But that is on me since I didn't check up the book before I read it. But I liked it enough that I look forward to reading the next book in the series! And the cover for the next book is just as gorgeous as this one (yeah I'm a cover junkie)! ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

HTML: "a new supernatural-whodunit-polyphonic thriller for those not of the faint of heart" â??Fort Worth Telegram "Pinborough's fiction moves at a breakneck pace. Once you start, you can't stop." â??Sarah Langan, author of The Keeper and The Missing
With the terrible increase in mutilated corpses to examine, the highly regarded police surgeon Dr. Thomas Bond has lost the ability to sleep. True, a growing dependency on opium affords him some solace in his loneliest and most desperate hours, but he also fears the grip of the drug. No library descriptions found. |
