Summary

The horrors have only just begun...

When Lady Violet Thorn's unbearable Aunt Igitha unexpectedly arrives at her doorstep and disrupts her peaceful existence, it sets off unsettling events eerily reminiscent of the infamous Montford Maniac’s reign.

Violet must unravel the connection between her unwelcome guest and the brutal incidents – from savage beasts at her doorstep to horrifying public executions.

Is Aunt Igitha orchestrating this nightmare? Or has history repeated itself with the return of the Montford Maniac? As Lady Violet confronts these horrors, she realises that there might be an even darker force at play here...

A heart-stopping amalgam of mystery and menace, this Victorian mystery is perfect for fans of Anthony Horowitz, M. C. Beaton, and Oscar De Muriel.

Martin Kasasian was raised in Lancashire. He has had careers as varied as a factory hand, wine waiter, veterinary assistant, fairground worker and dentist. He is the author of two previous historical mystery series including the Gower Street Detective series.

Good but not great.

I know I should not compare this to other of the authors books, but it's just not as good. However, it is very well written with good characters. Maybe it's because the other series of books are just so good that this series feels a little lacking. it's still an enjoyable listen and well read.

A struggle.

I hate writing a bad review especially for this author but this was painful. Far far too long. I lost interest too many times but wanted to stick it out to the end. Which became a test of endurance even with the additional speed to it.
