I absolutely LOVED this book. Carr has a gift for detail. Because he is an historian by training, his research into the late 19th and early 20th centuries added a great deal to the appeal of this book. Terrifying and left you feeling as though you were in 1900 New York as this serial kill ran loose. Character development was great and you grew to love this misfit cast of very intelligent sleuths.
