The Shape of Darkness


Recommended Posts

This is an extremely good book. It's Victorian Gothic fiction and a murder mystery.  It has plenty of plot twists with one at the very end that had me guessing, incorrectly, right until the very end. 

 

A victorian silhouette artist struggles with her health and numerous deaths that happen and seem to be connected to her.  She consults a spirit medium in the hope of finding out who the murderer is and what happened to her lost love.  The story isn't as simple as that but I don't want to put in any spoilers. This is a convuluted and complicated page turning story set in Bath during the 1800's.  The plot is amazing and highly original, the characters believable and the prose is well written.
