" The pace was a little slow. I liked the characters and would hope for another entry, where the characters may develop a little more. The main character's son and sister-in-law are worth some time in development. The police officer who works with Sebastian and the lady he admires are also worth revisiting. The plot made the book a little tedious, since the actual exposition happens in third person recollections, but overall, Gallagher has created an interesting take on early 20th century London. "
