This is the second book I have read by Viola Carr, the first
being The
Diabolical Miss Hyde . I found this
book as entertaining as the last she does a good job with her characterizations
and the steampunk theme is done quite well.
Steam Punk alternate history horror might aptly describe an
interesting take on a mixed mélange of iconic fiction.
This is an interesting mélange with lots of twists and
turns. Schizophrenic Eliza ia an often
naive soul. She is also a police
physician in a misogynist society.
Victorian style England
is depicted as a soul less police state.
The scene settings are squalid and vile and lead to incessant hand
washing after reading. Seriously the
squalor is palatable!
Lizzie is both appealing and appalling while simultaneously
depicting unbound, unrestricted liberation.
The author did a masterful job in depicting an alternative
environment where electricity ran amuck amid the muck. Murder and mayhem abound in this tale of
kindred soul discovery.
I recommend.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
