Murder as a Fine Art (Thomas De Quincey, #1)

Oh my, what an awesome book this is.

And it all started when I read about the follow up book on the web and that this author wrote the original Rambo novel. I was like, there was a novel to this movie? Oh well, that must be trash literature then (thought the first Rambo movie was great).

Anyway, so I bought this book, because you can't judge without having read and I am glad I read it because I absolutely enjoyed it from the first to the last page. My fear that this will be some steampunk crap was luckily extinguished early on. It is a classic detective story, playing during the Victorian time in London.

I am now really looking forward to the next book in this series and I am also intrigued by De Quincey “Confessions of an English Opium-Eater” and want to read that too.
