The Bones of Paris by Laurie R. King

4.0

Gruesome yet fascinating. The effects of WWI could be felt all over- shell shock, economic, class and moral flux, and artistic license. Young people are becoming more liberated and with this freedom comes risk. There are disappearances in Paris, but connecting them takes some time. The last gasp of aristocracy as it tries to remain relevant becomes twisted and evil.
The avant-garde is more a mental illness, but what shocks is cathartic. The Grand-Guignol will need more investigation, and I see Neil Gaiman was interested also.
