To say more would be to give it away; all in all, a struggle for identity all around. Excellent. High recommendations. -EEB

Written in somewhat ironic fashion, the book is a little long-winded (and just long) but highly recommended in its subject. The whole sordid sub-genre can become grim and tiresome after awhile and I suggest only reading one at a time...if it must be one, let it be this one. Interesting vignettes include some of a cathouse and some on a 19th-century perfumery. Recommended.  --Erin E. Betters

Sheri Holman writes about a 15-year old girl desperately trying to save the life of her ill child, by any and every means necessary, while the cholera epidemic poisons the city of Suderland and threatens to spread not only through the city, but the world. Haunting and grim, the book remained in the forefront of my memory for days, regardless of whether or not I wanted it there. Recommended. --Erin E. Betters

As with The Dress Lodger, Slammerkin doesn&#39;t lie about the harsh realities of life in its time period; whereas The Crimson Petal and the White shows upper-class life at its most lighthearted, Slammerkin dwells on the bleakness of the lower and middle classes, with rare glimpses of the aristocracy. For me, this was too dour without reward. Those not hoping for the occasional lighthearted breath of air will not find it here. Although I can&#39;t criticize this as a novel, it&#39;s not what I was looking for. --Erin E. Betters

McLiam Wilson again excels in his painfully accurate depiction of humanity at its best, worst, and most natural, although this outing packs many more laughs in than did Ripley Bogle. Highly recommended. -Erin Betters

A murder mystery set in Cambridge, circa 17th century. The book is divided into quarters; a different character tells each quarter, and each fingers a different suspect. Brilliant in the lineage of The Name of the Rose. Highest recommendations to those who enjoy such books. IMO, Pears&#39; best work, by far. -Erin Betters
