I just watched the trailer for the series of this being put out by TNT. I thought I would post a bit of a review to try and bring some attention to the book while everyone still has time to read it.
This book is fantastic! Anyone who knows me knows that I'm an extremely slow reader, but not with this. I burned through it each time I read it (I think I'm up to three.) The murders are gruesome, the characters are delightful, and, most special of all, the sense of time and place are so well-drawn that you will see, smell, and taste Old New York from the ground up. Do yourself a favor and read this one... then watch the lovely Daniel Brühl solve some crimes in an Austrian accent.

Yes! I'm trying to finish up the two I've got going so I can reread this one soon.
I'm going to check when the series starts, do a reread, and try to leave an actual review. *Goals* LOL
Lol. They haven't announced yet so I think we've got time.
I think you'll really like this one, Krissy.
Sure thing, Jennifer. :)
Jan. 22nd. I can't wait!
This is a good one. I hope you enjoy it.
