I am not going to give this stupid book too much more of my time. Maybe it was the fact that I kept falling asleep during the first few chapters, but I found it a rambling, confusing and ultimately unsatisfying volume, one that I only finished out of spite and obligation.A rambling tale about a roguish reporter in Victorian London, the main plot revolves around (I think) trying to bring a child molester, pornographer and murderer to justice within the upper classes. There is also a subplot revolving around the hero's dead brother, another couple of kids, and Oxford.
Confusing, rambling and ultimately unsatisfying. I will give it 2 glass photography negatives out of 5 out of charity, as I was totally out of it for the first few chapters.
