By Alex Grecian
Here is one that I could not put down even though at times my queezy stomach told me I should. I even contemplated
calling in sick to work just to read this book. Alex Grecian uses actual historical
characters and places to add to the reality of this story.
Take a step back in time to a place before DNA testing and
when it was thought that performing an autopsy with your bare hands was
perfectly safe. Fingerprinting was still a very new and unreliable form of
identification. Grecian uses vivid and sometimes stomach churning descriptions
in this novel. The Yard is the first in the Murder Squad series.
In Victorian London
there are twelve detectives known as “The Murder Squad,” whom are given the
daunting task to solve a countless number of murders each month. This is a time
just after the Jack the Ripper murders and the citizens of London are
disappointed in the police force and scared of what may be "out there." The squad is hit hard when one of their own is found murdered. One of my favorite chapters detailed from the murder victims perspective while he was being brutally killed, very gruesome. If you want to know more you’ll need to get yourself down to the
library today!
