From the sanctuary of their home, she is able to investigate the circumstances of Nellie's murder. What she uncovers is a conspiracy of silence and corruption, and of unscrupulous men preying on women like herself and Nellie. Her attempts to unmask the killer and to bring him to justice exact a heavy price on Natalie.LONDON DUST is a powerful evocation of the underbelly of Victorian London, full of flavour, completely convincing and utterly gripping.

Not as satisfying as his other mysteries, this did keep me guessing throughout about who did it and the why of what they did. Interesting but not quite enough. As a first novel it's not bad but in comparison to some of his later works not quite good enough. ( )
