The Bedlam Detective Audiobook

" A very well written mystery with rollercoaster of a ride at the end. But thoroughly interesting throughout. Excellant protagonist, an ex Pinkerton man fallen on hard times due to his son's special needs. The son possible exhibiting the symptoms of an early(historically) Aspberger autistism. I'm going to look for more of the author's books. "

" 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. "

" I almost didn't want to read anymore after the part on the train. I felt the description of the speciman was a little much....maybe I just have too good an imagination. Anyway, I decided to read on and see how the story went. Turned into a really excellent British type detective story and I enjoyed it very much. Some of the action was a little slow; but it keeps you guessing right to the end. No way to tell who is truthful and who is not. Surprise ending. All together a good story. "

" This was a good, easy detective story and a perfect distraction from my recent reading. The characters were well drawn, the mystery was interesting and kept me turning the pages. Would be good beach reading in the summer and cozy reading in the winter. "

" Extremely well-written. A mystery set in London in 1912. A must-read for fans of mysteries/thrillers set in a historical setting. I really hope this becomes a series. "

" Ended too quickly with not enough resolution - just left you to draw conclusions. Overall an interesting book, exciting in parts, and a good story. "

" Predictable and dull. I started skimming half through. "

" I really enjoyed this book. The plot is interesting and a little creepy. The characters are well-drawn and unusual, and the protagonist shows thoughtful development. "

" I liked this but it was slow at times "

" Didn't think I would ever finish this book. It was too wordy for me. The only reason I did finish it was because I won the book and I felt I had a obligation to read and review it. "

" This "fantasy" detective story is quite fascinating. Looking forward to seeing Sebastian again. "

" Good period adventure/mystery with enough plot twists to make the outcome somewhat intriguing. "

" It could easily have been my state of mind while reading the first half of the book (exhausted), but I found it hard to get into until that halfway point, after which I couldn't put it down. "

" Not the best historical fiction but a good story with interesting touches of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in the story that the mad aristocrat tells of his adventures in the Amazon. Worth reading on a wintry day! "
