The Solitary HouseThe Solitary House by Lynn Shepherd
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Charles Maddox is hired by an attorney to find out who is sending threatening letters to one of the attorney's clients. Lovers of Dickens will thrill to read about London in the 1850's. Shepherd's narrative is clever, often addressing the readers directly and filling them in on details that our hero (Charles) has yet to discover. This is an excellent mystery. If you like this, consider reading Louis Bayard's Mr. Timothy.
