The sequel to The Tumbling Girl is another entertaining, well-researched historical mystery, good for fans of Masterpiece Mystery’s MissScarlet and the Duke. As before, the working people behind the scenes at the music hall are the stars.
This atmospheric debut historical mystery captures the world of music halls and the danger to women in Victorian London. Will appeal to fans of Leonard Goldberg’s “Daughter of Sherlock Holmes” mysteries, Sherry Thomas’s “Lady Sherlock” books, or the show Miss Scarlet and the Duke.
Although not his best, this swift French New Wave spin on the police procedural exhibits much of the deft narrative legerdemain that Japrisot would perfect in four subsequent award-winning crime novels, all recently reissued by Gallic Books, and all good bets wherever Georges Simenon is popular.
