3.0
A Victorian Detective novel that doesn’t break the mould.
This book reminded me very much of your classic detective tv show. Sergeant Cribb is a detective that doesn’t exactly work in the normal way and doesn’t reveal all he knows with his sidekick. Thackeray the sidekick is your more typical police officer and more compassionate!
In this case a headless body is pulled from the Thames and shows signs of having been competing in illegal bare-knuckle fighting. It’s up to Cribb to work out who this headless corpse is and how he ended up in the Thames!
