The television series is on "my list" for Netflix and like any reader, I must read the book first. Well, I am now a Dr. Laslo Kreizler fan or should I be more accurate and state that I am a big fan of the pairing between Lazlo and the narrator of the story, crime reporter, John Schyuler Moore. This 19th century mystery about a serial killer hunting down young boys is not for the faint hearted. But oh my goodness, it's incredibly hard to put aside!

Karin and Caroline, I am certainly enjoying it! It seems like a Criminal Minds: 19th century edition.

Karin, did you ever read the next book in the series The Angel of Darkness?

Good to hear! Thanks for responding!


Ginger Totally agree Erin! Great review and I’m excited to find out who our killer is. This has been a great book so far!
