But what's extra-good about this book is that it isn't at all gratuitous, but is actually a nice substantial read.

But I did get the distinct impression that the author is a bit of a foodie.

Excellent. I found the history and mystery gripping. Also, there is a lot of good food described in this book, something I always appreciate. nrlymrtlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00572346310916207565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3206685128986486929.post-85670489575105335762013-02-03T09:42:55.469-08:002013-02-03T09:42:55.469-08:00Hi Edi,

I look forward to seeing your review.

I don't know why but I never bought a copy of The Alienist.<br /> <br />Today I watched a report about Jack The Ripper on Germ TV. Afterwards I wanted to read a novel set in the same century. Within two minutes I had a pile of five books to choose from: <br />- The English Monster by Lloyd Shepherd<br />- The Revenge of Captain Pike by Andrew Pepper<br />- The Blackest Bird by Joel Rose<br />- The Secrets of the Lazarus Club vy Tony Pollard<br />- The Death Instinct by Jed Rubenfeld<br /><br />I decided to go for The Secrets of the Lazarus Club<br /><br />Anyway next month I will buy a copy of The Alienist.ediFanoBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129248787624088717noreply@blogger.com
